They're all great, but some are just a little better for their time. I think the most influential ones are the GH4 and the GX85, both having some of the most innovative features that are now on most cameras: ability to shoot 4k (GH4 was the first hybrid for this, and 4k with IBIS (the GX85 was the first for this). This was the golden age for Lumix. Amazingly, they have yet to release a GX85-style camera with a mic jack and PDAF, this would be the holy grail. Sold all my M43 stuff because it took them too long and moved to Lumix FF. I put $1000 back into my pocket, bought a S5 with vintage lenses to replace all my M43 stuff- better image, almost as portable, all the best features minus PDAF (but have a S5ii for that with AF lenses). Would like to add that the VX1 (and VX980/981) are the ONLY video camera that you can just hand ANYONE and they'll get decent footage and audio. They're not for critical evaluation of the image- only usability counts here.
I had a GH3, a GH4, two GH5's and an AF100. Now I have two GH5 Mk2's and a GH6. All my cameras are equipped with Atomos Ninja V's but they also record a safety track internally.
I don't think it makes sense to do a tier list of how a camera company's cameras rank TODAY. You're just creating a list that's mostly in reverse release order. Makes more sense to rank them within their historical context IMO.
Your G85 seems to be the GX80/GX85. I have a G85, which is now 9 years old. When I bought it, I thought as an amateur I don’t ever see myself really ever advancing past this camera. I still feel that way.
@@RhettThompsonFilm The camera has a small set of niche features that I love. But otherwise I generally recommend the G9 or the G80 over it (if it's for video).
Nah bro, you’re looking at it from a 2024 perspective, but the GH4 changed the game! It was the first to offer 4K and external 10-bit recording, with battery life no other camera has matched since. Everyone had one-it completely pulled the rug out from under the OG Pocket Cinema Camera.
I was a huge CapCut user and a few months ago I switched to Premiere and I am glad I did but I'm still struggling to do a lot of what I was already doing in CapCut. I learned that even though eventually the transition will be with it it's better to be comfortable with your editing program for me. Im not sure what is so much better about DR over PP but I already use a lot of the adobe photo stuff so I just prefer that workflow rather then another months on top of months of learning curve I guess is what I am saying.
@@BassDad-TV yeah I just use some other other plug-ins and programs with Adobe that it’s difficult to move to something else just for video editing when my photo graphics and visual effects are all in my subscription. Glad to see you make the move tho! Meanwhile people keep telling me to try out CapCut haha
Hi, I love the form factor and handling of the GX8. Would have like to know Your rating. Of course nowadays a bit outdated, but with super specs of its time. p.s. i use(d) it mainly for still images
@@RhettThompsonFilm I used to like the GX8 very much. The grip not as pronounced as on the other models, but completely sufficient for me, even with the 100-400mm lens. The size of the body seemed at first slightly too big, but in fact it fell very nicely into my hands. The viewfinder, though not as sharp as later models, is super interesting, allowing to use the evf from awkward angles without too much acrobacy. for example shots at almost floor level, or pointing upwards for a longer time to the top of a tree. I like EVF more than the screen, especially in bright sunlight, or in tricky focus conditions. I think the image quality is ok. Pity there is no follow up model (yet?) with more pixels and/or PDAF. Cannot judge the video usefullness, since i didn't almost use this feature, but see there are plenty of options.
@@huasheng9695 you may be right, honestly it was hard to put anything much lower than A since they all can be an A or S for someone! I think the fact it felt like a stop gap to me took it down a lot but yea it’s a great cam. I think I’ll have to make a video on why I moved on from it and why it’s a great camera
HI! G9 ii in B just because it overheats despite having all the specs of the gh7? are you crazy? Class A at least. I recorded with it in the summer for 2 hours continuously with a temperature of 28 degrees in 4k 60 p and the temperature light didn't even come on. You can do anything. Taking it out of class B immediately makes no sense, there is no proportionality. The S9 even if not professional has the specs of the s5 ii, you can't put it in C. It must be at least in B. And let's not joke. I agree with the Gh7 in S. On the other S1h that you put in S I have to trust, ok image quality, but with that poor autofocus of the previous lumix versions, I would say it can also stay in A. Maybe a new version with the new AF will certainly deserve the S class if they don't do stupid things.
Here is what I think: all,hydrid cameras are likely mid tier. Like most things in life, when you choose a compromise you don’t get the best of anything. There are great cameras for photographers and there are great cameras for folks who make video. If you want to do both you need two different tools. Red35 had a recent live stream on this very issue. Sure, some do ‘ good enough’ at both for an enthusiast or certainly someone with a hobby. I think LUMIX largely falls into here, good enough options for most (I own a lumix and quite like it).
How do you find the om-1 vs the g9ii specifically for animal tracking? I have the 40-150 f2.8 and use it on Panasonic, but been looking for a second body.
You should have waited for a day of better inspiration for such a special synthesis... like, look what Emily did. This is not an ordinary video topic in a row, it's an arch, a look back over 10 years period of your most productive age. I'm sure there's a lot more experience and personal relationship with these cameras left unveiled under your skin.
It’s always a struggle with videos like this. If I waxed poetic for these cameras too much the video could easily go on for hours. Maybe it should have but it’s always a tough balance.
@@RhettThompsonFilm yes, but then you would be on your own ground. Great idea for the future! This looks like your own replay version of their ideas. I am not criticizing you, to the contrary. I know how much potential you have.
The video I review every single lumix camera ever made I’ll keep this in mind haha although that videos is gonna be feature length! I know you didn’t mean this to be unconstructive criticism and I take this to heart!

What are the Lumix S Tier Cameras for you>?

I still love my lumix tz/zs 100 its still great for travel & daily camera for social media
Дружище, подскажи, пожалуйста, на какую камеру и объектив ты снимал себя в этом видео? Заранее Благодарю за Ответ!🙂
Your G85 seems to be the GX80/GX85. I have a G85, which is now 9 years old. When I bought it, I thought as an amateur I don’t ever see myself really ever advancing past this camera. I still feel that way.
G90 would be my A tier. No other camera fits my hands so well for example.
Never got to have the pleasure of using one but you’ve got me interested!

Just can’t do it, love the look of my GH6 still although the 7 is a fine camera.
@@Memory_Gatherers it pains me so haha I’m very glad I can have both because the GH6 color is sooo perfect
I wish the S5II and S5IIx were more like the GH6/7 in format and the G9II was more like the G9 in format.

Another RT tier list!?!? 🔥🎉
@@orange-you-later babe wake up, new tier list just dropped
felt a little bit harsh for my g92 missing the fan then dropped from A to B
although I do use mine as a EDC camera for street and landscape photos ~~

What camera and lens was this shot at?
@@LJLeeTV I typically shoot at my desk using the S5ii and lumix 35mm 1.8!

The s9 was violated its like those S tier u put were B tier at most they are not arri alexa either
g9ii..., feels like 5 years ago
I feel you bro
Dafuq is that OM-1 doing over there on LUMIX camera list?
@@jcmt8178 shhhhh I had to sneak it in hahab. I had some Sony and Canons but they got cut
GH6 in 2025? For 900$ new…yes or no?😊
Great deal honestly
