Pros: Stabilization, image quality, ergonomics, ease of use, functionality, price
Cons: Dimensions
Opinion: Like all Panasonics (alas), if purchased at the right time, you can save a lot of money. In addition to the competitive price for what it offers, the 4-year Fowa warranty is not to be forgotten, which is a nice security. I needed Fowa once and they solved it quickly, free of charge even if there were the extremes to dispute the repair under warranty. Removed the preambles, the machine is really enjoyable, very simple to use, dials, keys and wheels to configure every good thing without resorting to the use of menus. Perfect ergonomics, also due to the dimensions that for an m43 are a bit exaggerated. It is true that the lenses are small and performing, but a smaller camera body would have been very welcome. The image quality is the most beautiful ever seen on m43, at least for the cameras I have been able to try. The RAWs are very workable and the management of shadows and highlights is also quite good. 16-bit RAWs can churn out beautiful output. The hold at high ISO is decent, probably the OM1 is slightly better, but if you stay on 1600 ISO, max 3200 ISO you have no problems, beyond that you need to work with Denoise otherwise the noise is clearly visible. Fantastic stabilization, it allows you to deal with situations that are difficult to manage with other combinations. I can do macro set handheld with the 100-400 at 400mm and the shots even at relatively low shutter speeds come out just fine. There are features not present on other machines such as Live Composite, starlight, focus bracketing, hi-res in the car and other nice things that allow you to do unusual things and that still help for certain occasions. The touch screen has the same responsiveness as smartphones and can also be used to navigate menus, very convenient. The autofocus, not yet at the level of the big names, is still fast and allows you to have fun even in birdlife and in any case in fast photography. The tracking is good and very complete as a feature, there is also the pre-burst function present only on machines of a very different range. Splendid Hi-res, fully usable not only on a tripod, but also freehand. The camera can decently manage even some small movements that may occur in the scene. In short, a very complete machine, easy to use and with excellent results. With the right and not too expensive optics, such as the two Lumix G 12-35 and 35-100 F2.8 zooms, it represents a small kit, not too expensive, but with excellent performance. The maximum is obtained with fixed lights, but even the zooms, both from Panasonic and OMD, allow you to do everything. |
