Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying an everyday camera and I'd like to have your thoughts and advice.
I've been a happy NX1 user for a few years now but my setup is very heavy (16-50S, Ronin S) and I'm looking for a second camera I could carry easily with me everyday and on travel. Something light for some run and gun shooting, fast lens, good 4K, nice for stills too.
First I wanted a pocket camera like the RX100 IV but I think the 1" sensor is not for me. I've been a GH2 user a long time ago and I loved the M4/3 format so I think it would be a very good way to go.
There are 3 cameras that have caught my attention. They all are a few years old :
- Lumix Lx100 (1st version) : Very small camera, almost pocketable. The lens looks wonderful. Possible to mount ND filters. Great 4k with just a slight crop. Good photo. The perfect camera for what I need, but one big down : no IBIS.
- Lumix GX80/85 : Everything great, excellent IBIS. One big downside for me : The 2 kit lenses are beautiful zoom pancakes but are not fast at all. I'd like a fast zoom lens but those are too expensive and way too big for my use.
- Olympus E-M10 III : Very close to the GX80, although a bit bigger, no crop in 4K, great IBIS, but same problem with the lenses.
What do you guys think of my request? What compromise do you think I should do? Is the LX100 optical stabilisation that bad? Any other camera to suggest me?
Thanks for your help.
