I think this is where I am at the moment. Have shot lots of great pictures with this - love the image quality, video, anamorphic features - the 4k 60p crop is a pain as is the absence of 4k 120. Have used it with the 14-28, I really liked this lens but also got very good results with the kite lenses - 50 and 20-60. I really like this camera - shoots beautiful anamorphic but lacks open gate - no camera is perfect....

That feels like a really good decision. I am considering purchasing one for the 4k 120 and the size and the bang for the buck especially used. I had the GH4 and the GH5 and didn't really hold on to them because photographically I did not think the IQ was that great. Not sure I would want to be solely reliant on the GH6 especially if I was considering enlarging / printing bigger - potentially the M43 system would show its weaknesses in this area, might be wrong on this though. Basically I really want one but not sure it would be my only camera. Great video by the way - very helpful.

I've been wanting to get into film cameras. What's your take on learning to use a rangefinder styled one versus an SLR? That's the current dilemma I have. As soon as I think I'm going to get an affordable SLR, I see another video talking about how great rangefinders are. So I'm still stuck. I did get a Kodak S1100 XL point and shoot just to dip my toes into the water, and that has been fun, but I'd like to go head first into a proper film camera too

I've started to get more into manual focus lenses and zone (range) focusing. I love the concept and since I end up shooting at night a lot, manual focus would really help for those times when auto focus won't work

Thank you, Look forward to more. I am not into videography but you mentioned one can video in B & W, that made me think. Cheers from Australia.

Save your money. The EM1.2 and EM1.3 are better.

review from a TH-camr - no... review from a Photographer - yes!

I habe the 14 42 kit lens , I think standard with camera

I have one of these, shutter count 1252 , fabulous condition, too good condition that I am scared to use ! LOL. I will probably sell as don't have the photo knowledge the kids don't see to be interested yet (use their phones). I have other options: canon Powershot SX160is takes surprisingly good photos in auto. I find the G6 white balance all wrong in auto. So I need something easier to use. I also shoot with an old iphone SE 2016 lol . The g6 also has a mic port so good for youtube. Thanks for video.

Thanks for the update.

Apparently, Olympus still has a 5% share in OM systems, I think it might be better if they kept 25% share in the company, but they mostly sold it off the majority of the camera and Len’s division, I think we all missed the trickle down effect of technology that came from the medical and scientific division of Olympus.

I love that soft shutter release. You would too if you knew the effect of the camera shake caused by pressing it, especially with such a high pixel density on the sensor.

As a new om-1 user, your on point with your takes... definitely earned yourself a new subscriber 👍

Great vid! I own also a GH5 II and some Canons and Fujis, but my everyday camera for photos and videos is the G9. It has just everything I love and need. If I would shoot just videos, maybe I would prefer my GH5II, but the lack of upper screen and the worst ergonomics would make me remember my loved G9 for sure.

Excellent.

I also grew up with film and have been doing photography as a hobby for about 30 years now. I completely agree that shooting film can make you take better images. Back in the film days, I thought about every shot I took even though it was only for my benefit. Then when I (sort of reluctantly) went over to digital in 2012 I found myself taking more images but of far worse quality, even to the point of me becoming disinterested in photography for a number of years. Recently I have gotten back into it and now I take pictures much like I did in the film era. I take my time to get the image right and find I take less digital photos than when I first started shooting digital, but they are WAY better. I use the Canon EF EOS system as that is what I started with back in the film days and now shoot with EOS DSLRs and a couple of old EOS film bodies. Being able to share lenses (apart from a few EF-S lenses that I use on 1 of my DLSRs) is also handy. I agree that the old manual film cameras are lovely but I'm a bit lazy to use them haha.

I love this video. Im 54yrs, I grew up in Poland where all I could get was Zenit camera, I had to learn the manual shooting. It was easier for me since photography was my father's passion. When I was 19 I lived in Norway where I end up in a world of great cameras and also automatic. Today Im shooting digital and on film. I passed passion to photography on my son and he loves shooting all kinds of film and on all kinds of cameras. Film photography makes your imagination work, how do you want your picture look like etc and as you say it costs money so you have just one shot and you can't check it on the screen but wait until its developed. I shoot on many kinds of film and like 40 yrs old. To me film photography is a kind of art today. Thanks for the videos like yours makes analog photography live. Thank you for this video :)

No

Well Olympus does own 10 percent of the company. And the O in OMS does mean Olympus so close enough 😂

I have an Olympus Stylus and love it. I'm thinking of getting either a OM1ii or a Fugi XHSii. I looked at the OM1 but it didn't feel right in my hands - specifically the thumb grip protruded too much and was uncomfortable for my thumb. There are many things I like about the OM1. Two additional changes I would wish for are 1) an aperture ring on the lense (similar to Fugi) and the option for the Quick Menu to display in a scrollable bar list along the right side the screen similar to the Stylus display. That way one can still view the composition while making quick menu changes from the side bar list. I'm not a professional - I think I could be full equipped (for my purposes) with 3 or 4 lenses.

There is a 9mm F1.7 lens too, super build and weather sealed

How is the high res mode

So many pearls of wisdom here!

View finder works great but looks like an space ship 😡, poor industrial design. I have M6 mark I btw.

The 40 -150 f4 pro is currently my favourite lens. So light an compact, but super sharp and actually nice bokeh, when you get some at close up shots.

Is that the Mark II?

Thanks JB. Waiting for my OM1 which is now $1000 off through December.

Really enjoying your videos. Best wishes from the UK.

I agree 100%! I picked up a nearly new S5 a few months ago for $700. I shoot mostly video (local commercials) and I love the ergonomics of Panasonic cameras. This is the 3rd Lumix camera I've owned in the last 10 years, along with various Canons, Nikons, & Fujis. Paired with a Sigma 28-70 f/2.8, a used S5 is pretty hard to beat for less than $1500. I love the number of programmable buttons on this camera and the dials are well placed. I don't recall having to get into the menu at all on a shoot earlier this week.

As a motorcyclist who "learned" on the street and never rode dirt, I can't emphasize enough how bone-headed, expensive, and deadly dangerous it is to not learn to ride dirt bikes first! Luckily, I learned to shoot photos with film. I don't suppose I'll give up the advantages of digital media, but in some regards I'm sorry they even exist.

The results on 8 x 10 blow me away. Film is still worth it.

Great suggestion!. Thank you!

Great series of videos... it is reassuring to know that there are many excellent. , and in many cases, affordable cameras out there to fulfill most of our photography needs. The G9 is my main camera, which I use for photography. The autofocus works excellently when used for photography. I also use DXOPureRaw for processing, which gives me the freedom to use any ISO, as high as I need it. The thing I like the most about this camera is its ergonomics, it is the most confortable camera I have ever used - including digital, or film SLRs... I can use it with a large zoom lens (100.300), handheld, for hours, and the camera stays firmly, and comfortably in my hand... The only issue I have (but it is not with this particular camera, but with any cropped sensor mirrorless camera), is that I prefer to shoot with legacy, manual lenses, and the crop factor pretty much turns most of my prime lenses into a telephoto lens... that is why I am thinking about getting a full frame body, to be able to adapt those legacy glass, and use them as they were optically designed.

Yes, an excellent backup camera. Thanks!

Thank you for your opinion on this lens. I purchased it, and it is well worth the money for video on my R10.

Thanks for the tip! For photography, has your GH6's AF ever bauked significantly, and does it depend on lighting, background, etc? (I'm guessing the most reliable setting is S-AF. I use the center area and re-compose.)

Thanks 👍🏼

Yes and no. When it works, it’s a wonderful. But the problem is, it often does not. We are peers but you don’t seem to use your camera for more than stills and static objects. The AF performance alone makes me regret settling on this system. Also in photo mode. It has been a source of ongoing frustration and lost opportunities for years now. The only way to go serious with video using the G9 is to focus manually. The small 20mm f1.7 lens is wonderful as to character and sharpness, but the AF is slow.

this camera is awful and grainy

Because you said you do not want us to subscribe I actually subscribed because you recieve much more than a subscribe and a like

This guy knows what he's doing, instead of all the other 'street' photographers

I just picked up a lightly used G9 with the PL 12-60 for $850. I love it so far!

Nice video. I just picked up this camera used off of eBay for a great price. Took it out today for the first time to get some fall color. Yea.. the shutter is super sensitive.

I'm looking to get the 14-140 lens to start with. Not a wide aperture but has a good reputation. (I have a bunch of m43 lenses but they not weather sealed.). But haven't decided whether this or GX8 (because smaller).

do you have any recomendation for me to upgrade?. My daily use camera is Eos m6 the old one

Great video! Thanks. I also like using external viewfinder. I have the Fujifilm 21/28 mm one and the TTartisan 28 mm. I prefer the Fujifilm to the TTartisan for the same reason you described.

For micro 4/3 lenses, the field of view of some of the viewfinders is smaller than the FoV of a lens. For example, brightlines on Olympus VF-1 match perfectly with the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens (40mm full frame equivalent), or Lumix 24mm match almost perfectly with the Leica 15mm f/1.7 lens (30mm full frame equivalent). A brilliant combo is Ricoh GV1 with a 21/28mm viewfinder, which I pair with Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 pancake + proprietary DMW GWC1 wide angle converter. This way, it serves both focal lengths with or without a converter. Also Voightlander 15mm viewfinder match perfectly with the 14mm pancake with a Panasonic GFC1 converter.

Thank you for the video

I'm interested in that .8 lens. Is that correct? If so what is it? Thanks

I've got the Canon 32 mm lens and I use it on an M50. It looks absolutely fantastic when I use it so I can only imagine on the M6 it would look even better. By the way I also use a Laoa 9 mm ultra wide no distortion lens and it's fantastic for super wide shots without the Goofy curvature distortion.
