Pros: cost, stabilization, ergonomics, tropicalization, weight and a not bad file quality.

Cons: Contrasting AF, sometimes indecisive and treacherous. okay... rightly so being m4/3 rendered at a slightly higher ISO.

Opinion: I squeezed it in all sauces, I took this camera to approach the mirrorless world a little (I started with a reflex). It's my second camera and I have to say I'm happy with it. Because for those who want to do school and start with photography it can be there. Such a small body with the relative optics then assigned make it comfortable for travel. I found it really good for photos in urban contexts such as historic cities or other. Photos of still subjects, not moving, even if it still does well with the right light. For landscapes, with a little braketing you get interesting stuff out. Photos of animals, insects is there on the whole. In a sports context I don't recommend it, because the AF is not fast at all and it is difficult to follow a subject. I managed to pull up something valid, but between multiple shots there are very few focused almost 100%. Once, despite selecting the focus area, it happened to me that the camera did not focus where I wanted, this happened in a scene where there was contrast (not high) and what I had to frame was in shadow. So the advice I give you, use the AF for contexts a little more lively in high light conditions and where there are no shadows for example given by trees etc ... Manual focus nothing to say, wonderful focus peaking. The yield at ISO, well, is not its strong point because of the sensor but in my opinion at 3200 the files are still acceptable. Very good stabilization, nothing to say. The videos, on the other hand, are there, too bad for the absence of flat profiles, but in terms of image it still starts very well. The AF in the video is lazy, sometimes a little indecisive, but in contexts that are not very dynamic and lively it still does its job. The battery, for the use I make of it, I can keep it charged for quite a long time. But I recommend that you buy some spare because it can make a difference. Ergonomically, very comfortable grip and key layout. The articulated screen is very comfortable. I see a little dark and with a lot of sun and you can't understand the scene well. Something more would certainly have been useful for mpx, but given the year in which it came out and the m4/3 sensor it is honest.

Pros: Perfect size. Light. Tropical. Good viewfinder. Very good stabilizer. Very good sensor performance

Cons: Af not a lightning bolt but still decent. RAW images on poorly defined displays (absurd this thing). You have to shoot in RAW +JPEG to see them sharp. Keys a bit flush with the body

Opinion: If it had an afc like the oly em1 MK2 it could be my ultimate machine. To this day, I still find it with perfect ergonomics. Pleasant to use. It's not a top-of-the-range but with the 12-60 and the 100-300ii it makes a system in line with the micro philosophy. If you want, you can also put the Leica 9mm 1.7 in it and I would say that it is a nice travel kit. All light, with a fair cost and with excellent yield.

Pros: Compact, excellent ergonomics, fast (not very precise) contrast AF, stabilized sensor, battery and SD in separate compartments, incredible price on used

Cons: Built-in flash not usable bounce, some buttons awkward because they are soft and flush with the body, AF unsuitable for fast-moving subjects, battery life

Opinion: A Gx80 in a slightly larger reflex-like body, therefore with better ergonomics. Even when you shoot, it proves to be more responsive. Very good screen (bright even in the sun, very smooth, perfect touch), although unfortunately for me flipping on two axes (I prefer tilt only) the construction seems quite sturdy and the hinge is larger than what is found, for example, on Canon bodies. Lots of physical and non-physical controls, several customizable, large and very soft dials. Curiously, the buttons on the back are great on the Gx80 and awkward here (too soft and not very protruding). The battery lasts longer than its smaller sister but remains scarce, and the viewfinder is larger and more comfortable. It's a pity that the built-in flash is not flip-up (and therefore usable by bouncing off the ceiling) as in the Gx80, but it is the usual reflex-like useless for me. Customizable AF but still unable to keep up with fast-moving subjects. Unlike its little sister, there is no shutter lag... Or at least I don't perceive any. The great touch helps to move the focus point quickly and accurately. With static subjects as usual the micro 4/3 is exceptional, thanks to the bright lenses and the large pdc that combined with the exceptional stabilization (with the 45mm I have handheld shots of 1 second in focus) allow you to keep the iso always quite low, in the useful range of the "small" sensor. Given the price at which it is used, it is recommended especially for those who want to contain weight and size without sacrificing ease of use and quality.

Pros: Good image quality, robust, lightweight and compact

Cons: High iso yield, sometimes the stabilizer.

Opinion: Perfect size, it fits very well, sturdy, tropicalized. Really good photo and video quality. I had it for a few months along with a m.zuiko 40-150/4-5,6 R. It was the kit that made me get to know and enjoy the micro 4/3. Even with the 14mm pana was a good match. I only tried the videos so much to make them and still they seemed really good. In short, it does a little bit of everything, it does it quite well.

Pros: Pretty much everything. small, robust tropicalized, economical, etc .. more beautiful

Cons: a little bit the yield at high ISO - if it had animal recognition it would be perfect

Opinion: What can I say? A truly excellent product, it costs little and returns files of excellent quality, so much so that they are practically not distinguishable from those produced by the G9, which I have. Lightweight, fantastic ergonomics, double stabilization, tropicalized, etc. It was the machine that introduced me to the micro 4/3 world and frankly I can do without it. She accompanies me in every outing, especially if long and tiring, without any problem, almost you do not realize you have it; And what colors, what definition. I'm really excited about it and I recommend it to all those who want to deepen the world 4/3 without fainting.

Pros: I was looking for a camera like this

Cons: For now nothing

Opinion: I was looking for something a little less compact than the GX 80 and with a better grip to use with micro 4/3 lenses heavier and larger than the ones I took at the beginning. With this camera, bought used in kit with the 12-60 mm, with warranty from a well-known Swiss site for only 460 euros, I found what I was looking for. Small, light, tropicalized, it holds well in the hand, controls to which I am accustomed (comfortable the wheel above the left for single shot, burst, self-timer, etc.), batteries equal to those of the FZ 300 that I own. Much more convenient to use with the 45-175 and especially with the 100-300 because it is much more balanced

Pros: ... what I wanted

Cons: as already said and specified by many before me only small things that remain marginal for my use

Opinion: having to slowly try to find a machine body that had been more performing than the previous one (Pana G5) I came to the conclusion of buying the G80 (used certain and at a fair price..) in fact for four years now I have had it with great pleasure and satisfaction to use,... of course the G9 grants more but, for my needs I have something to sell! I have seen splendid results of people much more attentive and sophisticated than me who have whipped so to speak the characteristics of this machine body by scrambling it in situations of all kinds and taking home remarkable shots ... what to say, they were already the test that made me choose and buy. Being a Panadipendente for several years now I made this choice as having also the same batteries as the G5 (I have 4) I can go out with two cars not be afraid to stay on foot, I remember a carnival where the readiness of a shot was vital and with two machines ready with different focal points all... it was perfect. Of course you must like and almost love the m4/3 but for my use it is enough, I still recommend this step to those without too many frills want to bring home good results without ... kg backpacks in bodies and targets.

Pros: Small and sturdy machine body, well made, grips well, (I for convenience I added the Battery Grip ) intuitive menu throughout, fast af. now at fabulous prices, tropicalized, excellent stabilization especially on used with the ois panasonic optics, which increase its effectiveness.

Cons: I use it, indeed I use xchi I have two, for two years, and to date big defects I have not found, maybe the battery, but this you know before, and cmq with the savings activated, I have arrived at over 600 shots....

Opinion: I took two two years ago, and now I can do my review, use in all conditions, of light and atmospheric, used both for photos and video, I come from FF and Apsc systems, I wanted after so many years (40) to light, and I thought about the m4/3 after being well informed by those who already use it for years, fully satisfied, with bright optics and internal stabilization of the camera, there is no need to push on iso, although in the two years I have taken in some cases even up to 4/5000 iso iso , Always taken in Raw, As for the video, it is higher than its sale price.... Two years ago you pay a quarter more than they cost now, now it's really a bargain... Later one of the two I would like to replace it with a G90, or rather a G9.

Pros: Excellent construction, lightness, stabilization, tropicalization, Microphone door, intuitive menu, articulated screen, ergonomics

Cons: Slightly lazy focus, low light photos

Opinion: Great car at a really competitive price. In my opinion at the current price there is not really better in this band. Maybe it's a machine that doesn't excel in anything, but it's really versatile and solid in all the compartments. If you want, I made a video review that you can find here: Https://youtu.be/y-lAgH7P1zQ

Pros: Ergonomics, large viewfinder, Touch dual is Stabilization, held large articulated, clean iso (iso 3200), fn, af responsive, tropical, bei lapse in room and last but of substantial importance let us not forget the price:D

Cons: Battery a little poor in duration, dual sd slots, for me already in 2017 from G80 should have it all. More of against me just hard to find it in it, is a valid one.

Opinion: Beautiful, valid and:D practice 3 nouns which contain a "papiello". Too bad no one can! The comment must have a minimum length of 350 characters. The same will be tallied. When after a year of its release, I do not think there is a mirrorles with the qualities she g80, at the same price, so if you have a doubt in choosing can be peaceful and happy for its cost.

Cons: 1. Battery a little poor in duration. 2. no V-Log 3. dual sd slots, for me already from 2017 onwards and from the g80 onwards must have it all. More of against me just hard to find it in it, is a valid one.

Opinion: Beautiful, valid and:D practice 3 nouns which contain a "papiello". Too bad no one can! The comment must have a minimum length of 350 characters. The same will be tallied. At the time (2018) one year after its release, I do not think there is a mirrorless market with the qualities of g80, same price, with the same characteristics. So if you have a doubt in choosing can go quiet and be happy for its cost.

Pros: Robust body, clean files and natural colors up to 3200 iso, but also a little more pushed and CN some post-production also comes to 6400, however with the dual is no need to push too much on the ISO. Double stabilizer with 5 axes fabulous, many functions, beautiful videos and fluids, many ways of customization, manageable and pleasant to use. Videos and photos in 4k, quality at a great price

Cons: For now I could not give some cons, if we turn, for me that I'm used to always use the cameras with the battery grip, that of this g80 is too expensive compared to the price of the machine itself, 300/350 euros are too many.... (last modified) problem solved with regard to BG, I took two to 40/50 euros cad1, having two bodies G80, they are fine and also well built... At that price till they last are always a bargain, and with the difference I added accessories to my 2 lumixes

Opinion: I change my old review a year ago.... In fact, in the meantime I took the second G80, so much I was well, within a couple of months from the purchase of the first, I repeat the excellent quality of images and videos, camera well made, robust and holds well without weighing, (I come from FF Canon and APSC, before I had a 5d M3 and an 80d. ) Nothing to say about the quality of them too, but they were beginning to be bulky and heavy for me... Tornado to my G80, delighted of the passage, the stabilizer is excellent, if then works in combination with the stabilizer of Lumix optics, even better, I took pictures freehand and without much increase the ISO, for me unthinkable before except with the use of a Tripod, Peove at 1 second and also two exposure... The videos are beautiful, clean, and bright colors, many functions and settings even if it is not at the level of Gh5, slow motion fluids filming at least 50fps in Full HD, has the 4k in photos and video, also nice Post Focus, and much more , up to 3200 perfect ISO, but also used to 4000/5000 and 6400, always in Raw, with a little post-production you can clean any noise without ruining the photo, however I try not to go over the 2500/3200 if I need it, otherwise I'm always under , conclusion after a year of use, delighted, so that now I'm aiming at G9

Pros: Excellent sharpness, sensor stabilizer that works along with lens stabilization, good jpg and raw, tropicalized, 4k, up to 3200 iso and something extra is unobtrusive.Ottima.Addio aps-c

Cons: Maybe the battery life but there is a saving function that takes up to 800 shots .... so I guess there are no defects

Opinion: Fantastic! If high ISO is your fixation this machine allows you to shoot up to 1 "second free-hand without movement ... I think I've made the idea .... sure if you have to capture the moment in little environments Bright ... beyond the 3200 (but also 6000 not bad) I would not go. I did fine and did not regret the nikon d7200.

Pros: 5-axis stabilization also in video, video 4K, 4k photos, ability to change the depth of field ex post, body compact and solid tropical conditions and good quality in jpg files, very responsive, very good speed in the MAF, affordable price, great value / quality, touch screen, excellent viewfinder and swivel display

Cons: Given the Micro 4/3 sensor, we can not wait for a mind-blowing performance at high ISO - no headphone input - low autonomy batteries

Opinion: Taken recently, I did not know the potential. E 'small, powerful, responsive, solid and always ready to' action. I use it only for video, but it can also be employed for quick and creative shots. Its powerful stabilizer, allows you to use time absurd and get crisp shots thanks to 'lack of pass filter basso.rnAssolutamente recommended for video, since the stabilizer 5-axis it fully covers the use
