dahlfors Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I love the outdoors. Sometimes I go hiking and I'm off the grid for a while. With D800 and a few batteries I get pretty far with both video and photo. A full frame DSLR + lenses aren't the most carry friendly cameras though, so I'm considering smaller cameras.What mirrorless cameras can shoot videos & photos the longest on a single battery?I'm thinking of micro-four thirds / APS-C sized sensors, preferably some of the smaller/lighter models about the size of GX7 / A6000 or such.

Nick Hughes Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 My GX7 usually gets a couple hours of continuous shooting on a battery. Not sure if that makes it last longer or shorter than constantly starting, stopping, adjusting settings, etc. The batteries are small so you can carry a bunch. Not sure how it compares to similarly sized cameras, but my GH4 batteries seem to last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrad Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The GH3/4 batteries are the best. They last for ages on the GH4 and even longer on the GH3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSV Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The GH3/4 batteries are the best. They last for ages on the GH4 and even longer on the GH3.While I would agree with this statement on the Battery that was provided with my Camera (GH4) the spare ones that I bought from Panasonic does not however last as long (as the one provided with the GH4)... Maybe both spare battery that I bought from Amazon Japan were "old". Now before you jump on this, nope these spare ones where not knock-off and genuine Pana ones.

IronFilm Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yup, any of the GH series cameras are great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stab Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I shoot weddings with the GH3 and most weddings I only have to swap out the battery once! I'm talking about 10-14 hour working days here with the camera being turned on most of the time. It's amazing. johnnymossville and IronFilm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlfors Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the input guys, the GH cameras sure sound like a good match for this! IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymossville Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The GH4 with original panasonic batteries lasts a LOOOOONG time, I also have wasabi power batteries and they do well too, but not as long as the Panasonic batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
