Micro Four Thirds: What is Image Quality?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- I took my Lumix GX-80 to visit the waterfalls around Goathland, I also took my Lumix 14-42mm kit lens along too, I wanted to see if I was happy with the image quality. After all, what is image quality?
(Sorry for the jump towards the end of the video, copyright claim came up and had to trim it out.)

Just want to say a big thank you for making these videos Chris. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from each and every one of them. Keep up the good work!
Excellent as usual Chris I love the simplicity of ur photos which very much prove the point that u made this video for in the first place Absolutely beautiful results 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You got my sub and like! I'm new to MFT and you have opens my eyes to new possibilities!!
People assume printing is the final arbiter of image quality and to some extent it is true. Although whenever anyone ever pontificates about how big you can print from any sensor size, I tell them to go see a print of any Don McCullin black and white 35mm film frame. Put your nose to it and it is a smudge. Step back 3or 4 foot and it is sublime in its character and detail. Any m43rds camera frame could be blown up and put on a poster. Distance of viewer is the most important factor, imho.
Hi Chris. At 7.56, just as you walk out from under the bridge, there’s a memorial stone on your left to, I seem to remember, a young lad who fell into the beck and drowned. Poignant.
New to your videos... From a M43 user, You've Definitely earned yourself a new subscriber...👍
Thanks Matt. Glad you enjoy!
Good video and some nice shots, I do think the kit lens gets a bad wrap sometimes, I have other lenses but I still rate my 14-42 and 40-150, they are work horse lenses for me. I love taking snaps of things involving running water like waterfalls, so much potential for wide and zoomed in shots picking out details. The last time I was at a lock I really liked my wider pics, but the closer in shots were my favourites.
Even your “throw aways” are wonderfully well composed.
Great work and good information as always!📷📷📷
Thank you!
I just want tot take the opportunity to say how much I always enjoy your videos Chris. Always a pleasure.
I appreciate that! Thanks for supporting!
You are right - any relationship between the cost of the lens and the "quality" of the image is a myth. However, be aware that if you push a cheaper lens to work at its extremes then contrast and sharpness WILL take a hit. I've got the Olympus 14-150 "plastic fantastic" lens - a lovely pit of kit for the price - but last year used it at the 150mm end to try and capture storm waves in the sea. Even shot RAW all the images were soft, and contrast was a real pain to try and recover. For this outing I should have used my 40-150 f/2.8 PRO because that would have given me much quicker AF and also superior sharpness. That waterfall image captured in the autumn was an absolute belter by the way! Very nice indeed.
Awesome pics and video. And I love MFT 😍
cool video , the images are epic , i love the place , it looks so relaxing , here to like and support the hard work .
Thanks for visiting
Excellent as always such a beautiful part of Yorkshire 👍
It really is!
Great photos Chris the GX80 is definitely a good camera.
It just shows once again you don't need the latest and greatest from the camera manufacturers marketing departments 😅
I really enjoyed today's video. Thanks for making it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Camera Crew 👍🥰
I love that lens. Extremely small and amazing images.
It really is!
I had the Lumix 14-42mm kit lens with my first MFT camera the G7. I always liked the IQ for city and landscapes it was sharp across the frame. I buy lenses that interest me I don't look at sharpness or MTF charts any more. I picked up a Samsung NX500 for fun APSC BSI 28MP sensor but honestly I prefer the IQ from the 16MP Lumix GX80 or the Ricoh GXR cameras some of which are only 12MP. High resolution really is a niche solution for commercial photographers, despite the fact that a lot of large YT channels try to convince us that 20-24MP is dated
Really enjoy your videos Chris, but please be a little more respectful to the girl you are with.
I was thinking about the image quality of the Olympus 14-42 kit lens that came with em10 and I was gonna watch your video again when you borrowed David’s and opened up RUclips and there you were with the lumix 14-42 👍🏻
Is it the same lens and is it any good for landscape or do I have to get a prime?
Thanks for your videos, you’re absolutely one of my go to channels!
She couldn't run away fast enough from the camera😂
I was technically pushed! 😂
Hello Chris. lovely photographs Thanks for this. What filter system do you use please ?
I use the K&F Square Pro kit.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Can the tree not be removed?
I tried. It’s way too heavy and wedged in at the bottom.
Watch out for Ticks
IR woud have worked
I made a video doing IR around here a couple of months back.
You have ruined photography for me! I hoped the best equipment would result in outstanding photos for me but in every video you demonstrate it is the photographer.
