And… …selling it. It’s been a decent stills experience but less so video. From the stills perspective, it takes nice pics but back to the same old dilemma I always have and that is the best camera I have with me at all times is always going to be my phone and it’s a PITA to carry 2 devices. On the video side if things, it worked well enough on the gimbal but operating the gimbal as a one man band hybrid shooter is as much a PITA as that ever was so selling the RS4 mini also and replacing both, ie the gimbal and the L10 with a Pocket 4P. Also, in the static role, overheated in literally no time in the type of environment I typically work in and at not much difference in size to an S9 with a small lens, which despite not having a fan, is surprisingly durable. More so than my S1Rii’s I *think*. I have not tested the latter but as my S1Rii’s have overheated in a static role multiple times and my S9 never has… Anyway, L10, I wanted to really like it, but it’s not cutting it for work purposes (never really expected it to as than as D cam at best) and can’t really be bothered as an EDC and with hindsight I shouldn’t have bothered, but hey, we sometimes need to try to find stuff out. Anyone want to buy a lightly used L10 in the UK?!

Another new size appropriate lens for the S9 in the form of a 20mm f2.5 launched today. https://www.wexphotovideo.com/panasonic-lumix-s-20mm-f2-5-lens-3358704

I was pretty excited about this idea, but with the limited lens selection, even with the new 40mm f/2, it’s still bigger than my Sony A7R II with the Rokinon 35mm f/2.8. An A7C would be even smaller. It still doesn’t really feel like there’s a proper upgraded/full-frame version of the GX85 + 20mm f/1.7 combo, which I absolutely loved
