I'm happy to have come across your channel, relaxed and fun videos!brI got the gx80/gx85 this week with a Leica 15mm 17 for €600,- in as good as new state After seeing how expensive the fujifilm cameras (that I was eyeing for a bit) are in comparison
Comment from : @emmamariamakes

What would be the best option for around €150 with a lens?
Comment from : @LobTheDon

interesting I want to try a Micro four thirds! Right now I'm using a canon M200 with a 22mm f-20 great little camera I used it on my trip to Mexico to see family!
Comment from : @guerito550hp

What kind of material is the GX850 made of? I’m used to Fuji XT series cameras and held an Olympus E-P7 and it felt plastic
Comment from : @jjchockey

Love your vids, so unpretentious and to the point, keep em coming 👍
Comment from : @Colin399

I've had a couple of GX7's that I loved to use but they weren't hardy enough for work conditions and I ended up with EM-1 Mk 2's Still temped to get another GX7 for use as a pocket camera
Comment from : @nicklatheron8795

Only recently found your videos They are awesome!!!!!!
Comment from : @mackasenior10

I just want to get away from carrying lens nowadays
Comment from : @mpw2081

HArd question You could only have one camera the rest of your life, which would it be?

what do you ink about zv 1 ii
Comment from : @cashmerethepup

She cute :) And the camera builds are nice too!
Comment from : @kitsune2858

Love the budget gear walk-through But do you have a review of the LX100M2? Would love your insights on that slightly expensive, mildly pocketable camera
Comment from : @Swirlingovercoffee

that was an awesome video! Most vids are just single item reviews, either expensive or cheap I like that this gave great options!
Comment from : @FreedomToRoam86

The GX800/850 is now trading around $500 I think people have discovered that the older gear is still quite capable and that drives up the used prices ;)

I own lumix gf7 for years and bought it used a couple back years Thanks I found your channel! Definitely subs!
Comment from : @lukmannhak10

Hi, Thank you for your nice, relaxed and competent presentations I just bought a Panasonic GX80 used (from MPB!) and already have the Oly 17mm and 45 mm and 14-42 (kit) which are probably the three I plan to use most on it I will also buy the 7artisans 4mm following your hint and reading a few other reviews, but that is not really part of the small, cheap carry project I already use the 17mm on my bigger bodies a lot, so I expect not to change much there, except that I have a smaller package to carry These combis will also all sit nicely on a mini 10cm tripod which was not the case with the bigger bodies And the IBIS was important to me - I don't think I, personally, would buy a camera without it nowadays

0:24 I can’t believe how strong these British people are
Comment from : @prestonowens4594

The price just doubled in one year, it's so insane Those pocketable cameras seem to have a huge revival since a few months 😮 great video though, would be nice if you could do more of these every few months, with affordable models to lookout for 😊
Comment from : @icameforthemoshpit

Strange YouTubebrbrI love my Oly / OM System gear I just got into MFT late last year It sounds like you left MFT for business reasons that you can't talk about Sony agreement?
Comment from : @FierceSleepingDog

Can you pls review the lx100/leica dlux 109???!
Comment from : @freehugggs

I was looking at alternative cameras on MPB as an alternative to my GX800 when I came across this video Completely changed my mind now & got me thinking in a completely different way
Comment from : @lesbruce5673

For some obscure reason, the prices didn't age well The body-only GX800 is close to 350 pounds, and the 14mm/25 is almost 200 As of summer 2024
Comment from : @AnnaVahtera

A really lovely show & tell of how you mite build an inexpensive pocket camera kit A really useful & inspiring video, with a lovely, friendly and very knowledgeable presenter
Comment from : @williamgoss4691

great video, enjoyed every second
Comment from : @fistfulloflenses

Awesome video, super clear and comprehensive
Comment from : @Invincibleagent

How big are your pockets?
Comment from : @Domina7ion

You make me miss my gf-1 with Minolta 58/12 and 20/17 that got stolen from me years ago :(
Comment from : @Mavczers

Great video, a pity as soon as these videos come out the cameras double or triple in price At least £400 on eBay now Just not feesable
Comment from : @EmperorGilps

I'm coming into wanting to get back into photography, and it sounds like the market has realised that these older Pansonics are damn good - and the price for all of them has shot up I'll just take my time!
Comment from : @clonmult

I find this extremely informative and really enjoyable to watch after finding so many meh reviews, keep up the brilliant content!
Comment from : @aukidgoldenchild

I sold my Lumix gear years ago and have moved on to some very nice (and expensive) Sony and Blackmagic cameras but I still think about that 20mm f17 often That lens was amazing
Comment from : @RyanKorea

Just found your channel, it’s great! I’m wondering, was there ever a successor to this model available in the US?
Comment from : @shontek

i have lumix gm5 and i love it sz
Comment from : @Natahsz

What venue doesn't allow interchangeable lenses? That sooo specific
Comment from : @4crafters597

Great video 👌brbrThank you for such great information!
Comment from : @Canis2024

I almost always just have the Oly EPL10 ($150 Australian After -sale/sold lens it came with) and the Oly 25m f18 Just wide enough for landscapes, can take nice portraits of friends, or a bit more reach for animals, not too bad when it gets darker etc, and the setup has in body stabe, and flash so It's not as flat packed as some of the other lenses, but it is very light and easily slips into my bag :)
Comment from : @MarchalisVan

Lovely video! What's that tiny tripod in the beginning? I'm in love with it, it would be perfect for my gm1
Comment from : @theandrasbarta

Awesome video
Comment from : @WanderingDiabetic

Hi! new susbcriber here! Can you make a video on affordable (and pocketable) weather sealed Four thirds?
Comment from : @CforCoffee-vv9fj

My everyday camera is a GX85 w/ the PanLeica 25mm Not truly pocketable due to the larger lens and hood but, still unobtrusive If I need to go smaller I throw on the 12-32 kit and if I know I want a wider focal range I'll throw the 12-60 PanLeica on it which makes it look a bit funny but, it's not as obvious as using my G9 or S1
Comment from : @stewartdillard7199

Great video! brI've bought the Olympus OM-D EM10 MKI with the kit lens to be my vacation camera and got both the 17mm and the 45mm to have better low light capabilities I've also order the TTartisans 25mm f2 lens for that 50mm field of view The camera is almost 9 years old but it still performs well Love the fact that it is almost pocketable and the old school look doesn't draw any attention to it!brThank you for your videos and keep up with the great work on your channel!
Comment from : @ArthurCantrell

The Pentax 110 lenses can basically only be shot wide open a 100 of the time when adapted to another body because the Pentax Auto 110 body houses the shutter / aperture mechanism
Comment from : @kiwipics

Just found you My lord you are such a brilliant reviewer!! Subbed immediately
Comment from : @panther105

Great vid
Comment from : @Heart0rHead

Another small, affordable option is the APSc Sony Nex3n with the 16/28 pancake
Comment from : @bob-rogers

I love you accent!
Comment from : @kimberlynorton

GX880 (800) with 14mm lens is working for me, and have the 20mm :)

Comment from : @besperus4475

Very nice! 👍
Comment from : @CheapGeek

GX85, the 20/17 on it most of the time, and the Oly 45/18 and the 12/2 in L and R pockets, and I'm set! Great video, thanks
Comment from : @KitLaughlin

This is exactly what I needed Thanks
Comment from : @BabyBoomerChannel

Always enjoy your videos 🎉
Comment from : @williamjason1583

Love the vid 😊 subbed
Comment from : @GotThePug

Okay I love you and I love your channel I have shot Olympus micro 4/3 since 2012 I still have some ancient MFT cameras I am the proud owner of an E-PL2, E-PL3 and my favorite (because you can do just about anything with it, but there is nothing to break on it) a beautiful E-PM1 I am retired and on a fixed budget I have the 14-42mm kit lens and a 40-150mm kit lens I just purchased two CCTV lenses to see how manual focus works for me Question for you (now that you have some background info) I would like to add another lens to my system I do a ton of street photography Do you have any recommendations of which lens I may find a worthwhile addition??
Comment from : @sbcwinn

Great video!!! Love the paint!
Comment from : @1originaloutlaw675

🤠✅👍🏼
Comment from : @benko7ab

Great video! However you can always get the mark 1 used I think nothing beats the 24-75mm f37-6 full frame equivalent of the lx100 at that size
Comment from : @LeonChart

It's a good camera but it's also good at gathering dust inside it's sensor because of how the zoom lens is designed
Comment from : @anthonyjalandoni7884

Why on Earth are you so massively overpaying this old junk?
Comment from : @muccica9598

You are so good at this ! Your pacing, presentation, editing are great but your personality is so warm and invitingbrbr I used to have the GX85 with the 20mm 17, I loved it and missed it since the day I sold it
Comment from : @natessliceoflife

Loved my olympus ep3 paired with the panasonic 20mm and the Olympus 17mm and 45 mm lenses here, the 14mm was just a little slow for me This combo gives in camera stabilisation too I had two 20mm when I had this set up I kept the first through when i owned a Gf1 and GF 2 and an epl1 and 2i did find both 20mm lenses noisy when focussing during video but that might be because they were old, i bought the ep3 with 17&45mm lenses new All the rest was used gear off ebay Micro 4/3 is such a great format for getting a really versatile system for less than the price of a Fuji or Canon lens
Comment from : @garmit61

The LX100ii is barely pocketable too!
Comment from : @tallaganda83

This posting is great - compared to most others that are "infomercials" at best This lady has done her homework - yes - right on the nail in all those identified options If you happen to be an event photographer or love shooting people/portraits - the tiltable viewfinder of the Lumix GX 8 comes in very handy No kneeling is needed, just look down into the tilted viewfinder and you are in business

It was delightful to listen to you banter on about this topic Cheers (my grandmother was English - mum was Canadian and I'm born in the US love the accent evolution )
Comment from : @lylestavast7652

I use aps-c cameras (fuji) but enjoy your content a lot! Good stuff, great attitude :) Thanks a lot
Comment from : @blazejbch

Do the Olympus camera correct for Lumix lenses? I am looking at the EM5 mk2 and the 12-32 lumix
Comment from : @Kunal0915

I'm an M43 user myself but - the reason for liking this video was the brief clip of the Lancashire Hotpots (long-time fan here!) :D
Comment from : @ronniesoo4345

Regretfully, neither will MPB-UK or MPB-EU deliver to the USA 😢
Comment from : @timothydrake1030

I know it's not a m43 camera but a Canon M6 mkII might be worth adding to this list/series of videos
Comment from : @-AC-

How do you paint your cameras such funky colours?
Comment from : @nomadik7

Very useful , thks
Comment from : @williamgoss4691

What people should realise is that they can be their own MPB At the prices mentioned, MPB manages to make a profit I bought an E-PL8 with a Lumix 20mm 17 included in like new condition for €180, now that is a bargain that you won't find at MPB
Comment from : @Frazec_Atsjenkov

I am super happy with my Olympus Pen! Great camera! for any one and very cheap if you get it second hand😂
Comment from : @K72023

LX100 is prone to sucking dust into the camera and onto the sensor Have to pay to send it in to get cleaned and it's not cheap Other than that, they are great cameras
Comment from : @chrisschepper9312

I loved this video Thank you!
Comment from : @A1223-v4i

I love that orange camera so much !!!
Comment from : @AOUSI

Buy an LX 15 and safe even more money!
Comment from : @jan42

" 750 ACTUAL £" Best, understated description of 95 of "budget" reviews
Comment from : @dvd6884

Really appreciate you getting straight into the meat of the video! Thanks for all the diff options and alternatives as sometimes camera recommendations inevitably hike the price of affordable bodies
