What an absolute gem Looks like a real winner and very brave move because this will absolutely tank G9 II sales. As a G9 II owner, very happy with the GH7 sensor - I'm excited for this. Especially with it able to shoot 5K, although it does look to be the 2.2x crop variety rather than the oversized multi-aspect approach it goes for under-sized multi-aspect approach. That lens on the LX100 has always been the best compact camera 24-70mm equivalent. bar none though, so I'm not too bothered! If instagram crowd still go for a Canon G7X II after this comes out they want their heads seeing to. -
The Leica variants of the Panasonic cameras like the RX100 always hold their value far, far better so the initial premium that you pay is offset somewhat when you sell it. Join me next time for another episode of “Flimsy Justifications I Present To My Wife When Buying Cameras”. The good thing about a fixed lens camera is that you can just forget about all of that. What you’ve got is what you’ve got. When the full spec for the L10 comes out then I would look for some devil in the detail regarding this as well in the video modes. I saw something regarding it being 4.2.0 in some modes and 4.2.2 in others for example. Not sure about numbers but the Flickr pool for the LX100/ii should give you plenty of visuals to evaluate it. As with most pools on Flickr for older cameras I’d recommend going back to closer to the end and working forward as the advent of faster internet has led to a proliferation of any old shit being uploaded. People were a lot more selective ten years ago 😂 https://www.flickr.com/groups/dmc-lx100/pool/with/55214982443 -
Cool camera. I literally did an ISO test on my GX85 less than an hour ago and was calculating what ISO/lens combos I could get away with for shooting street at night. I love my GH7 but the size of the GX85 keeps quietly calling to me. I see it as a fun little camera for photography with some cool video capabilities. I also see it as an incredible sign we're likely to get a new small interchangeable-lens MFT camera, although maybe the form-factor would be a bit small for including IBIS, so we'll have to see if the size gets a bump. I also see if as a fantastic sign that I missed the announcement completely as the only video in my feed about it was from Micro Four Nerds, so that's an encouraging sign about the amount of professional camera YouTubers I subscribe to! I'd go even further than @BTM_Pix about the crop-factor and say it's potentially even better than a 'normal' crop factor. By the time you're playing MFT you're already doing lens math all the time, and my experiences with the GH5/7 and GX85 and OG BM cameras was that it encouraged curiosity in different lenses, different focal lengths, different looks (from different FOVs), and different creative directions from the different looks. For me the (imposed) variety was a source of creativity rather than a limitation. I've seen videos recently talking about new 40mm lenses and the people struggled to understand the lens, and also seemed to struggle with the entire concept of how small changes in FOV can have large changes in how you use them, whereas this is something I'm very familiar with and seems to be an advantage over people who only ever use "proper" cameras. The other thing that might be relevant is that the GH7 actually has some small crop-factors too. Obviously shooting 5.7K doesn't crop, but C4K, UHD, and 1080p have subtle variations in their crop factors, so maybe that 2.2x is coming from the sensor? Still, even if no future MFT camera materialises, this might end up with a spot in my lineup anyway. The GH7 sensor has incredibly improved low-light (compared to any camera of a similar size) so the F1.7-2.8 lens should be quite serviceable in low-light and would have a shallow enough DOF for some nice separation in many situations too. I'm keen to see some numbers about how large it is. -
Ha, also another of my thoughts! As I am in the twilight of my career and have not yet scratched the Leica itch, if the LUMIX option is not available prior to the end of June, I might as well skip it as half my season will be done before I got to use it…so would probably hold on until 2027 and pay the massive premium to get the same thing with a red dot and a fancier box to put in the back of a cupboard. Or I might just upgrade my phone… -
Does it still have the same caveat as the LX100 in having an MFT sensor but only having 85% of it exposed to the lens ? The lens on the L10 being 10.9-34mm but being described as a 24-70mm equivalent does align with that 2.2x crop factor of the 85%. Does it matter though ? Not really, I really like my original LX100 and this addresses absolutely every one of its shortcomings including the OIS on the lens and the fixed screen let alone the internals. As it should of course being twelve years after the launch of the original and at practically double the price. I think Panasonic has jumped the shark so high with its MFT prices in recent years that they believe they can now position even a sub-MFT size product as a bargain and they are likely correct. I think I’ll wait for the Leica badged version though as if I’m going to pay through the nose for it then I might as well go the whole hog.
