Gx80 or em-10 mk 2 for a first mft camera? Put me out of my misery please.

I want to like this lens, but it's a freaking bazooka. It's scaring people, and ruining any sense of discretion. I wish there was a sharp 16mm f/2.8 pancake or something

40D is like the 400D but cooler

HAHAHA! I had just three good. Why? I looked at micro contrast and yes, that is basically done by the lens. So, in my favour, I was perfectly able to detect the better lens! 😅 Good you mentioned the crappy compression on social media. I have posted photos with a 4MP Canon PowerShot A85 and they were just fine on Insta. That camera had quite a good lens compared to newer PowerShot cameras. I happily shoot with my 8MP Olympus Evolt E-300. It gives great photo's.

Back in the "old days" I started my digital journey with a Nikon D1X, D100 and Fujifilm S-3 Pro. I was able to print 20x24 inch prints from those cameras for clients. I quit doing photography for about fifteen years, got back into it a few years ago for the love of it. My "current" cameras are between 10 to 24 MP (Nikon D200, D700, D7100, D7200, Fuji x-T2). Nothing very new for sure, but they do what I need for them to do and I'm very pleased with the image quality that I get from them. If I was still doing paid work then I may need something newer with more MP but for now I'm happy. :)

Great video! I bought myself NEX 6 after a Canon 400D, I love this tiny camera)

I got more than half, but there was an element of guessing! I switch between an e-m1 original and a mark iii, depending on what I want to do. Based almost entirely around the flippy screen or not. I'm used to the tired old arguments of dof/ low light IQ, having shot mft for the last 8 years. A couple of megapixels and a few to spare is plenty for my needs. Great video btw

Good video! I luckily got them all right, but it was down to how each camera dealt with the darker parts of the images like the shadows and overall blacks. If I took my glasses off though, I wouldn't have had a clue! 😄 For social media, with Instagram's portrait size being 1,080 x 1,350 pixels, and Twitter (X) recommending 1,200 x 675 pixels, the average user can get away with a photo between 1MP and 5MP (I'd say the sweet spot is more like 8 or 10MP - enough for a bit of cropping and light editing). Higher resolutions might be useful for cropping, but beyond 12 MP, it's largely unnecessary - hence why social media is a great place to experiment with older cameras! 👍

I actually guessed them correctly. I preferred what you did to the colours on the NEX-3 images. I've used a range of cameras and never had trouble when posting out printing the images. My current set-up is Olympus MFT, and old Pentax DSLR and a Sony full frame. No one notices and there only way i can tell are the aspect ratios, colours and Exif data.

I only ever watch these videos on an iPhone sometimes not even full screen! Defo Instagram never shows me a full screen of the images. Only thing between the two for me and why I moved to the 24 mpixel a7 mk 3 from an olympus 20mpixel was the shallow dof and use of vintage glass .

For me, these days, modern cameras are all so good it is much more important to find a camera/system that you like using. Ergonomics, ease of use, fit for long photo walks etc. i personally, like a camera to feel good in my hand,easy to grip and have a good EVF as my eyes are no longer the best! All dependent on if you are a pro making a living or an hobbyist. There areobvious constraints if workflow and specific genres are at play. I too, struggle to tell the difference, quality wise, between my m43, aps-c and full frame. Great video; thankyou.

I think it depends on the subject, for street or portrait 8MP is enough, for landscape or architecture you'll need more. Tree leaves or grasses looked better in say 18-20mp or more.

OM1 owner and i will say i regret selling the Pen f to buy it, I'm just a hobbyist photographer and take photographs for me, i do post on F book on photography pages and got many header photos on the weekly/ monthly themes, most of them were taken with my Olympus E3 and one with an holga wide pinhole camera, i love using the E3 and the Holga, to my mind you dont need full frame 50 megapixel camera if like me you are an amateur/ hobbyist to take a good photograph you also have to love the tool you are using unless you like looking at your photos at 100 percent on a screen to see how sharp they are, dont get me wrong the OM1 is a great camera which i do use bit not as much as the E3

At 3:2, 1MP is enough; 1225x816. But if you'd like to fill your entire 4k monitor screen at 100%, 7MP; 3240x2160.

One observation…. you’re presenting these photographic comparisons on a video at a possible maximum 4K viewing resoltion. 4K is approximately 8 megapixels, so the test/comparison is sort of rendered pointless, as you’re viewing the images the same resolution regardless. Having said that, I’m more that happy with my Canon 5D, a purchase I made in part due to watching this channel :)

Awesome video! I agree with you on this megapixel discussion. My first camera was a Pentax K10d ( 10mpx) I used it for nearly 14 years. I eventually purchased a 24 mpx camera. I have not run into much that I needed more tbh. I find a comfortable sweet spot around 12- 16 mpx for day to day photography. It could be due to the smaller form factor of the cameras. Sharing on social media I shot as low as 5mpx and some of the photos I get better feed back. Old CCD sensors have that colour pop I like, IMO. Lens have everything to do with the quality of the images too. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great video! Thinking about to get the sony rx100ii for travel photography, pocket size but hopefully more detailed photos the phone 😂

Great video, I have just recently bought an old iPhone 5 ( 8 megapixel ) just for fun and got some great pics on a walk around Greenwich park. Coming from my Fuji xt5 of course there’s a difference but with good lighting and composition you can get some great photos 🙏

nice video🎉

Great vlog David, it would be nice to have a comparison between the Sony and the Canon 6D.

I can vouch for the picture quality of the NEX3 - even pixel-peeping holds up to scrutiny, in my experience. I now have two 18MP Canons and that’s plenty for an amateur like me :)

I got 50% correct, so not any better than guessing. I mostly use Pentax K10d 10mp and a k20d 14mp one and don't really feel limited by the tech, or rather lack of it. I enjoy the simplicity and not having to dive into complex menu systems.

I tried a Nikon D70 just out of curiosity,six megapixels and was blown aeay by the results..........................................................

I seem to have "Guessed" correctly even when you switched A & B shots, but it was luck, there was very little difference. Perhaps the A7R2 gave more definition on the tower brickwork on one of the end shots, but when viewing on a phone, who really cares, we aren't looking at billboards or pixel peeping! Interesting video, I shoot 12mp Lumix and still haven't exhausted all their capabilities, remember 5mp point and shoot, and have great memories of that!😀

Great and interesting video and comparison. I also have the NEX 3 and it is so much fun.

Does it shoot vedio as well?

You won't get one anywhere near that price now, they've gone right up I'm price, I picked one up myself great little camera

Try the Fuji JZ300... Smaller than a bar of soap... Beautiful images.

Just bought a G10 for street work... Thank you. i also use a fujifilm finepix jz300...

i have that camera and i dont know what preset to use while photogrphing street . please help

You are helping me with two things: learning photography and english. The problem is the learner, don't worry. Thank you for your work.😊

Does anyone know how to share the images via wifi? I own a galaxy s24 ultra and when I try to install the samsung smart camera app it says "your phone is not compatible" so, is there any other app that can be used in 2024? I haven't found how to use NFC, apparently I need the app...

Absolutely love seeing this post I recently have acquired my mother's a350 that she purchased new being an amateur photographer myself I'm trying to learn as I go and it's nice to know that it's mostly me and not the equipment that needs adjustment. 😂

Hi David, great video as always. Just a question. When you were doing your PTC (piece to camera) were you in Little Switzerland? I grew up in Hessle but left almost 40 years ago for Australia.

Love this camera, owned most of the A-mount cameras. The colours from this camera is amazing, you should try the sony A900 or A850 too. Brilliant cameras.

I have also been eyeing this model for a long time (in this color), but I am definitely not ready to pay such a price. Moreover, such total protection from weather and water is not such a necessary measure, I have never had a camera break down from use in nature. For a harsh mountain hike along categorized passes, I preferred to have Nikon P340 with me, which with the same size and weight has an enlarged matrix, RAW and a wide angle (I can tell you how to get 20-21mm focal length from this camera). This camera withstood rain and cold without problems, and gave a decent result at ISO 800 and even 1600. Although who am I kidding, for the collection of course I would like AW100 =)

The Lumix GF2 is still the best-ever camera that I have ever owned. (I had used 16 different models/brands before). Expecially coupled with the pancake 14-42 lens. I bought it in 2011, and over the years as I compared the pics taken with this one vis-a-vis others like Olympus OMD-EM10, Lumix GF85, GF8, Fuji XA-1, etc, it is still the best. Best in terms of the "3D realism" of the photos (a lot of others like flat), realistic, life-like colours, very decent dynamic range, excellent sharpness...reasonably powerful flash. And yes, even with just 12MP. !! Unfortunately, its touchscreen has died, and some of the buttons also don't work anymore. I am looking for a reasonably-priced replacement for this old faithful.

What are those lenses called 🤔

Hi i have a 400d aswell and my lcd is already strruggling a bit. Do you know if I can use the video out port to plug into my phone so I can have a better screen?

Totally agree on the evf. GX85 had a god awful evf, em10 ii isnt too bad and works well. I think its also an oled evf. Makes the world of diff. Menu system in gx85 is amazing like all other lumix bodies and doesnt drive me crazy. But on the fly, I dont need much other than the super control panel. Lastly, usb charging is a good thing for me. I ended up selling my gx85. Regret it simply cuz I want something with 4k video stabilization thats kinda small. Own a gx8, ep5, em10ii, and a g9 ( abd a 5d mkiii). But no 4k stab on a smaller body. Agree on jpegs as well, but there are certain setups on lumix to bring the jpeg game up, if not better than the olympus. (IMO)

Yeah,the guy in the Porsche was compensating...very small sensor

I have had a G11 G12 and G15. I love the pics on all of them,so I just purchased a G10 on ebay. Wanted to see the difference. Not a fan of flip out screens because of the added bulk,but I do hang on to my Canon SX40 and really really like it.

its wild these cameras are 50 bucks currently this cam feels so professional and nice and pictures above 10mp are only good if you want to crop or to make insanely large prints

Im currently looking at this camera as a begginer. This or the nikon d5200or olympus em10

I have a few cameras, but I love taking my Lumix bridge camera out on the street and shooting square frame. It's especially beautiful when you are using a longer focal length and you get that compression and economy within the frame. I'm learning a lot, I'm loving it.

Thank you for showing your favorites only one problem , you are hard to understand, it would have been nice if you listed these lens so I could tell which lens you were talking about.🤕

I am a bit ashamed to admit that I prefer my Zfc to my Zf, just like I preferred my FM2 to the F3, and for the same reasons: size and weight. The Zf is way too heavy for a daily carry. Add the compulsory grip, and it weighs close to the Z8. Add any s lens, and you end up way over 1.2kg. It is an excellent camera but it really hurts my cervicals unless I keep it in a backpack, which defeats the purpose of a daily carry. Tried all sorts of straps and slings to alleviate that but have not found any solution. On the other hand, the Zfc hits the sweet spot. It is light enough not to require a grip, unless I attach a heavier FF s lens. I use it mainly with the 24mm DX, and I find that combo brilliant. Only downsides is lack of IBIS and the finish feels a little flimsy.

Sold mine and bought an om-5, could no longer use the em1 ii with my prescription polarized sunglasses.

Hey David! Missed your videos, glad all goes well and you are back! Very warm welcome back here😊

I have a 16 megapixels Nikon s6200 by default the resolution is 16 megapixels but not fine quality, you have to set it manually, it's the option with the star. Mine is not oversharpening at all, actually the lens is scratched and so a bit gloomy but overall gives an organic look, a bit under exposed but has decent jpg that can take some pulling. The main advantage is the zoom range and the size! And the non smartphone hdr look!
