Judge Judy says hi
I'd like to see the Judge Judy video :) Do you have a link?
www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ze81y - it’s pretty amazing lol
Great job! This is one favorites type of video to watch. It is honest, informative and very practical. 👍
Glad you dug it Don! I’ll prob do more of these types of videos cuz I really enjoy nerding out like this, plus I think honest hands-on experience can be really helpful to other people.
Great to see Giulio active on TH-cam again! I was a big fan back in the SmallCameraBigPicture days. Figured you had to get serious and make some cash as a photog because TH-cam wasn’t paying too much in those days. Agreed the GM1 is awesome (I gave mine to my daughter). The G85 rules and is almost perfect, and the EM1 ii is still an amazing camera, especially with the new firmware AF updates. A great choice for a desert island camera for sure!
Totally! So many amazing cameras, so little time. 💅🏼
Absolutely great video Ben, thank you! I am considering to get an Olympus EM1 mark II. I love my G85, and this Oly seems a better G85: phase detection AF, dual SD slots, 20MP, better IBIS, better battery life, log, headphones jack for monitoring your audio, etc. A lot of improvements in a very similar body size.
Yes! The EM1 mkII is a big step up from the G85 imo. Also highly recommend the G9 over the G85 for much better autofocus and other features.
Hey all! Was dope to meet up with Ben and geeeeeek out on some rad cams. BALLA!
Looking fwd to more collabs Giulio!! That was funnnn
Went to a store intending to buy the GH5, albeit it was not for me. The weight distribution made it tilt to the left and the grip was chunky but just not deep enough.
Then I held the OM-D 1ii to in my hands. Instant love.
It's a shame, really, I wanted those GH5 video features but I couldn't imagine holding it and still enjoy taking photos for a longer period of time. Same with the G9 and the GH5s.
Something i want to mention is that the Oly slightly faster (higher fps and shorter time between hitting the button and taking the shot. She's a wonderful snappy beast!)
Good to know about the Oly! It really does feel nice in the hands. And you have a great point - sometimes design, usability, and ergonomics are more important than the camera’s multitude of internal features. If a camera feels good to use and is inspiring in design, I‘ll typically be more motivated to go out and shoot!
I really enjoyed this. Just an interesting conversation with no BS.
Glad you dug it Will! Doing some experimenting with my channel so it’s not the same BS every time.
@@b3naqua speaking of no BS. Since I didn't win the Lumix 25mm f1.7 in that giveaway awhile back, I picked up one for myself. You were right, it's a sick little lens. So happy with it.
Thanks Will! It’s better for everyone in the long run to be real.
Not only is the EM-1 ii great as reviewed but with the optional grip it’s even better, especially when using larger lenses. It’s an all round performer.
Cool! I’ll have to check the grip out! Does it make the camera gigantic tho?
@@b3naqua if you are using the small sized primes then i suppose it feels gigantic but boy does it complement the larger primes and the 40-150 f2.8 is so well balanced in your hand with the grip.
John P nice! Good to know.
It's nice to see some Olympus love. People especially on TH-cam (for obvious reasons) gush about Sony and Panasonic cameras because they shoot higher-quality video, but there's a lot more to a camera than video quality. You can still get some very good video quality from Olympus cameras.
Truth
I'd suggest you try the EM5 Mark ii if you want to get into the whole Olympus system. It's got the awesome weather sealing and picture quality of the EM1 but at half the price. As an overall portable package the EM1 is superior but bear in mind that the pro lenses are ultra expensive and the menu system is sadistically complicated however you can eventually customise it to your shooting style
Good to know! I really want to try the EM5 now, sounds juicy.
@@b3naqua Just wait for the new model it's about to drop.
Other then a recording limit it appears the g9 with the new firmware almost makes it a gh5
Yup, they’re very similar now
Fun video. In today's world almost any camera you buy will be a great camera. It comes down to what you want, need and like to shoot -- they are all just tools in the end -- and each has their pro's and con's. I suffer from G.A.S. so I've got several different brands I use depending on the job I'm doing, but I have to say it is a real toss between Panasonic (especially for video) and Olympus if you are into smaller lenses and bodies with great IQ. I do love my Oly's though. Overbuilt indeed. Rugged tough little beasts that are very comfy in the hands.
So true! We have soooo many great options for cameras these days. I was really impressed with how many features the Oly has, plus how small their lenses are.
Also thanks for teaching me what G.A.S. means lol. I have a mild diagnosis of that.....is there a cure??
😆 Kinda funny. I started MFT five years ago with an EM 10 MK2 and fell immediately in love with the OMD System. That guided me to the point to buy an EM 1 MK2 plus 12-100 pro lens for 1499€ aus a Kit.
And even in 2021 this Gear for that price is really great and suits me perfectly for my kind of photography.
Hell yeah, this stuff all still holds up nicely in 2021!
My Oly makes me happy! Small, super well built, I can teach my kids to ‘drive their way through shots’ instead of taking smartphone pictures which look like everyone else’s. Holly Oly!
Lol nice!
Love the Instamic.
tubadylan it’s pretty dope!
I've just bought an E-M1 MkII [June2021] to complement my Sony A7III kit and M4/3 cameras. The price just seems OK in the UK now at £620 or about US$750. This is about a third of its launch price. It is to replace a Panasonic G6 and a Sony A57 and lenses. I'll keep and use a Panasonic GX80 and Olympus E-M10 MkII
Nice setup!
I also keep my panasonic G80 for convenience and my Leica 100-400mm after buying a Sony A7iii , that delivers better AF and performance in low light , but considering to buy a E-M1 Mkii . You notice he better AF and low light possibilities ? I am mainly a still shooter.
I enjoyed your video and read some of the comments by your viewers. Lumix G9 didn't get the best reactions from some of your viewers. I am puzzled as, some other reviews on TH-cam really prize the G9. What are your feelings on the G9? I was seriously considering. Than you
The G9 is awesome and pretty underrated! It’s like a larger version of the G85 but with no cropping in 4K video, better video AF, and better photo quality.
Great advice…..
Glad it was helpful!
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Greetings from the future. I'm a tall, lanky guy. I have two big, fat hands. I also have the Sony a6100 (same size as the a6400) and I have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 M2. I do not have ANY problem with "Dangly Bits" when holding the a6100. I also have a Nikon D8100 full frame, which I use less and less in favour of the Sony... the Sony has sharper, less noisy images than the Olympus four thirds by a tad. I do use the D810 when I need more MPs or need to crop in (despite even using a 600mm. But the idea that the a6100/a64100/a6500 is hard to grab is just crazy IMHO.
Guys thanks for the review, but it would have helped to have someone with more insight in the Panasonic MFT system. The G9 is Panasonic's flagship MFT camera for still photography & also has a High Res mode that allows 80 Meg RAW photos, plus has equal IQ as the Oly EM1 II at least according to Imaging-resource. Also the G9 is freeze proof plus has 2 card slots--compared to 1 in the Oly--and a better u/i according to most camera reviews.
Yah the G9 is great!
em1 mkii does have two card slots. your list pretty much sums up the em1 ii 😂🫱🏽🫲🏾
The Sigma lens look like a DSLR lens with a glued adapter for E mount.
Lol yah it’s a gigantic beast! Excellent quality lens tho.
I was with Will Crocket from early on. He made a few appearances on TH-cam again lately after a long absence.
cool!
I want the low light performance of sony sensor and the magic tricks of olympus.
same, that would be amazing
These camera cartels are colluding on specs and features to prevent the perfect camera from being made. That way consumers always need to look around, upgrade, or buy multiple.
Lol it seems that way, doesn’t it?
It's like the hot dog companies and bun companies that don't make equal package sizes.
HikeRx 🤣
Why you are not comparing the A6500 with the Lumix GX9 and Olympus PenF, or the EM1 or G9 with the A7 cameras with similar designs?
Since you don't give importance to the sensor size...
The main advantage of the mFT is the size of the system (camera+lenses). But the G9 is bigger than the FF A7...
I would select the mFT system because of the lenses; but not the 4:3 format, AFc speed and side articulated screens, only if it were like the screen in the FUJI X-T100. Have you tried manual macro or discreet street photo with a side articulated screen?
th-cam.com/video/Vcf3bdXUTu4/w-d-xo.html
Jose Luis Pelaez you should check out the Oly em1mkii software update and what it did for their focusing system.
@@ddiegorosa When Olympus used the Em1 AFc system in a new Pen F, or Pana in a GX9, I will try it. I´d only like/use the mFT format in a really COMPACT camera. If the size is not an advantage in mFT I will continue using APS or FF.
I have the Oly Em1.2. I think this was overly negative n Sony. Like it is trash. I like my Oly a lot but the menusystem is as bad as it gets. Even after almost 3 years of use it is still a myriad to me. MyMenu would solve it. Panasonic cams to my mind are really far more intuitive. Only reason I do not have the G9 is the HiRes mode which is hampered by no longer than a 1 sec exposure. Sure the Sony's are not ergonamically very sane. I know but the overheating on those cams is far worse. But IQ is fantastic, AF is so too and it is very reliable from that perspective and at a good price (A6400). The 30 mm F1.4 Sigma is about the worst out of the bunch btw when it comes to size and weight. You could have shown the 56 mm f1.4 which I ownfor my Oly and it looks a lot better. And most fixed focal lenses are not that big. The system when you add lenses gets bigger, surely with the zooms. All in all very single sided and I say this is one who exclusively uses mFT (GM5, GH4 and Em1.2).
Interesting thoughts - I still really like my a6400! There’s no perfect camera, but for TH-cam and photography, I’ll reach for my a6400 more than any other gear I own atm.
No test footage? I prefere to compare by myselfe!
do it!
I don't think it is fair to play comparing lenses sizes such as those shown from SIgma (same lens for mFT mount!) on these APS SONY cameras.

Samsung nx 500 is 3 years old and still has the best sensor
Brilliant

So is Judge Judy for real? A real court?
Yup!
Maybe! Coming in a vid soon.
I've waited for a big pixel peeping review...
Noted! Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm thinki1
em1 markii -1k
40-150mm and a 45mm 1.2 2k
Sony a7iii 2k
55mm and 24mm 1.8 1k
And super wide
laowa 12 mm f/2.8 Zero-d 1k
Damn nice gear!
Great video
The Olympus is built better
I noticed the g9 has a cheap flipout screen
I also have an xt3 but it's over my head
The ideal camera would a combo
G9 featers built by Olympus with x-t3 sensor
I also like the 42.5 len and Fuji 55-200mm and 18-55mm
Olympus has 12--40 12-100mm 40-150mm great primes
Yah that hybrid camera you mentioned would be so amazing!
@@b3naqua I'm sell my x-t3 and lenses I love the video but it loose focus when panning.
My Sony a77ii was better
Thanks for the feedback!
I got the g9 it’s dope
A1Bokeh - yassss luv the G9! I miss it tbh 😭
Ben Aqua hahaha ya dude I got the g9 and gx85 to powerhouses of lumix in my opinion but they’re all pretty great !! I got the sigma 18-35 on it freaking heavy dude
@@A1Bokeh you have an awesome setup! Sigma lenses are great but yah so huge and heavy! I prefer native Panasonic lenses on my Pannys
Ben Aqua I def feel you but I basically just got a budget Panasonic 10-25 with Lower f stop
@@A1Bokeh yah that's amazing!! I rly wanna try out the new 10-25mm! So expensive lol
The em1 mark ii can shoot High res shots with flash which the g9 cannot do!
Drooooool
I had several occasions, where I wished I had pulled out my iPhone instead of trying hard to make that quick photo with my camera. Today’s iPhones are ridiculously good. Using a camera needs you to be super fast I setting the right knobs and wheels. On the iPhone you need to unlock and click on the round release button.
Very true - iPhone camera quality is more efficient and handy for a bunch of types of shots. It’s a different experience from whipping out the bigger camera.
The olympus is a much better camera. With the latest firmware 3.1 it's as good as the em1-x in AF. Panasonic sucks with that poor dfd and crappy firmware uptdate. The build quality is always better on olympus camera too. I won't even talk about the poor service from panasonic repairs ( there ton of threads about that). The 5axis is better on the olympus too. Overall i like olympus better as a company, they guve the best firmware on the market, they are innovative, ridiculous wheather sealing and great heritage too.panaspnic just copy all the features olympus bring to the market and that lame imo. 5 axis, focus clutch, live composite, pro capture, hires mode etc all of that came from olympus.
🤔😒🤣
It's always hilarious to see you consistently in the comments of any video with Panasonic and/or Olympus mentioned in the title being a typical little 'trollie' hack as usual.. Hahahahaha... I don't believe you own or have ever shot with any of the cameras in this video because if you did you'd agree with the presenters that all of these cameras are really good in some areas, and more so than the others in some cases. You're the worst kind of miserable troll; a spec sheet quoting, sideline troll who can't even get in the game. STFU and get outside with your Polaroid and get some oxygen into that empty brain of yours.
Looks like someone is such a fanboi he has to go 'round the internet sħitting on brands he feels threatened by, in video after video...
@@qwe1231 I'm definitely a fanboy..What's not to like about a company that give the best firmwares in this industry ? The sad thing is that EVERYTHING I wrote is true. A quick look at dpreview forum for the sceptics : www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4418136
I have the Em1.2 and the Gh4 and I can't say the Em1.2 is better when it comes to build quality. The Gh4 was standing near a waterfall in the sleet and snow for hours without a hickup. G9 has a lot of things (I won't even mention them) that to my mind are better than what my Em1.2 has to offer. While the HiRes hampers me, the IQ of Panasonic HiRes from what I have seen is better than my Em1.2 has to offer. The G9 is also quite a bit cheaper and its DFD works really well (also from what I have seen). I love the FW update on my Em1.2 for sure and notice it in video especially. Nice to have a choice.
Which camera has the best #hogwackles and the least amount of #danglybits? 😛
I prefer the G9.
😎👍
Andrettie T - the G9 really is an amazing camera!
The g9 seems amazing after the last firmware update. I need to see if I can live with the recording limit
I know both of you are Olympus or M4/3rds lovers you don't really need to RUBBISH Sony. That's is unnecessary.
tean tan Good sensors and AF don’t make a good camera. They’re RUBBISH.
@@GiulioSciorio I own Olympus, Lumix, and Fuji and Sony I find Sony superior to each is own. There you go, you can rubbish Sony as much as you like it does your reputation no good or it is already at the bottom of the pit.
I remember rhat guilo guy. He had a website, small camera big picture I guess. One of the worst photographer ever lol. Really weird pictures.

"Olympus is much better..." Olympus EM1 Mark II - $2,4k vs Sony Alpha a6400 - $1k (Sony a7 III is around $2k). ...really great comparison guys :P
the E-M1X is $2.4k, the E-M1ii is around $1k...
@@kalisti2323 Also, the E-M1 MKII is a pro body whereas the A6400 and A7III are not.
@@GiulioSciorio yeah, high technology, low usability it seems like with sony. If they sorted that out they really would be the closest to the perfect camera imo. I'm still torn between the em1ii and the g9 myself XD
@@kalisti2323 I agree about Sony. Good tech doesn't make a good camera. Get the G9 if you want slightly better video and are ok with manual focusing. Get the E-M1 MKII if you want a good pro stills camera with good video AF. It would not surprise me if Olympus released another firmware update to boost video features of the E-M1. I'll be addressing that and more in my upcoming review.
@@GiulioSciorio I appreciate the advice dude thanks! I'll keep my eye out for your review!
This is an awful review, you're comparing apples to oranges. Why not toss in the Hasselblad X1D while you're at it.
No IBIS, no go. In other words it’s junk.
