My favorite tiny camera is my Sony NEX-5T (APS-C) with the tiny 16mm f/2.8 lens, or if I want blurry backgrounds the FE 50 f/1.8 looks great! And all three of these were relatively inexpensive!
I just wanna say you’re the most reliable guy when comes to this subject here on UA-cam! Now I’m contemplating If should get the Panasonic Lumix GX850 and Olympus 45mm f1.8? haha What’s going to happen now to my a7iii and a5100!? Also I find it so awesome that this video was uploaded during my birthday last year! Anyway, thank you so much! Again, you’re the best! 👍
If you have an A7iii, I wouldn't trade that for a GX850, that's like trading a Ferrari for a Chevy. Sure both get the job done, but... The A7 has a much bigger sensor so you can easily get amazing depth of field and sharpness, plus it has a great electronic viewfinder. I have the GX850 as a travel buddy when I want the lightest smallest thing possible that can do blurry backgrounds, but the A7 is more serious for pro stuff. Why just have one camera? Have one for each purpose like I do
Love your videos you always on top of your topic you nail the information that usually me and other are looking for.thanks so MUCH for your amazing helpfully videos.HAVE A GREAT DAY!
I have loads of cameras but, I used my mates Pen pl9 and it handles and just feels great in the hand. I bought the early Olympus OMs for the same reason. Pens just have that tactile feel and you can use most glass on them, adapted. Last thing, I’m fed up with the crap written about sensors, and full frame, etc. Camera manufacturers just love manipulating the soft brained public who love jargon. I love this mans straight talking easy going views that just make sense. As photography and graphics have been my business professionally for almost all of my working life, “A good big un will always beat a good little un”. From film to sensor, to everything in photography as I know it, the less you blow it up, grain or pixel, noise, whatever, the more there is the more it affects the image, good or bad, is subjective. For 9/10s of the imaging world, massive reproduction size aside, cinema screen size, billboard posters etc, it’s a 6x5 world, that almost anything can shoot. Get the shot, and screw the sensor!
The Lumix G100 is smaller, lighter, has double the ISO, a fully articulated screen instead of just tilting, a much higher resolution viewfinder, higher rez LCD screen, and at least some form of stabilization. There's a reason they stopped making it but the G100 still goes on.
Full frame cameras are small format cameras. Full frame sensors are not the biggest sensor you can get get. It is the biggest small format sensor you can get. Medium format cameras have larger sensors. Large format cameras will have even larger sensors; but unfortunately they are not made yet. My first camera was a 120 film camera , 56 mm × 56 mm. You could make very good prints from that. I'm still waiting for the prices of digital medium format cameras to drop. At my age I find it difficult to agree that a full frame camera is large. It is a small format camera. As you write: It is a compact camera.
Please read: I am so inspired by your photography and filmography, so i really looked into light weight cameras for professional looking video and photos! I am done with carrying around heavy weight dslr's. So have you got your hands on the Fujifilm T-X30? Its supposed to be small size with changeable lenses and somewhat of not over priced, its also very retro looking which i like, the only downside is it has no im body stabilization, but i guess you can buy lenses that stabilize? I am a bit more than a beginner but have big dreams and dont want to go with an all beginner camera. In that price range you have to make certain compromise. I just want to be sure i dont spend all og my saved up money on the wrong camera. So deffinitly super light weight not bulky or heavy or big lenses, also it should be good for photos and cool video stuff. I am a huge fan of your fotography and filming so i feel like i can trust your advice more than a sellers 😂👍 greetings from switzerland
If you have the money and don't mind the size, medium format sensors take the cake for "biggest sensor." Maybe someday we'll get an 800MP large format digital camera that you still have to get under a cloth to use and uses flash bulbs.
@@MarkusPix few need those big sensors. They were blowing up big prints before we even had ultra high resolution sensors. The 800mp camera was a joke, as if the most expensive and technologically advanced camera in the history of cameras would use a one time use flash bulb, lol.
Also, how about including some better smart phones by Apple, Samsung, Google and any other worthy competitors for small and able to record good jpg stills and video. Many of the best smart phones are good at still photos and video (usually having better video specs and sound than entry level cameras and some intermediate/enthusiast cameras). L Good audio quality from a built-in mic is the bread and butter of smart phones, IMO. If entry and enthusiast cameras want to be equally video competitive with smart phones they need to have as good built-in mic as phones. If cameras want to win, they need to have an external mic jack that offer potential for better audio than smart phones built-in mic. Your review is great, but time for an update, IMHO.
i use canon ef , my first was a yashica electo ,im no pro ,that might for good(no reson relate i have to be ...) , as told i buyed my 1st dslr 1 week ago in new conditon on e-bay , physical bay scale all over 10 mega pix is mystical/nonsence . by sight / sensor Quality, Qulity off the sd card quality off the en graficard quality off the en Printer or display monitor/ photon sice to picel , rasta dots by ensicing digital , so it wood take 3 weeks labor proof but im about 8 goga is rlate all over 10 , myst for me as i say atm . /// Blury background // siver film can dio that better any digi i gues ,nothing i relat as important .and dificult .
that Oly 45mm f1.8 was my favorite lens on the featherweight Lumix G6 . When i moved to the G85 , i took the Pana 42.5mm f1.7 instead because of the closer minimum distance and flatter field, more suited for general photography . But i still have the 45 and would probably use it again for a portrait session.
Have you thought of offering some Udemy courses on how to set up scenes with smartphones and then more advanced ones with these great cameras? I'll see what I can learn with my smartphone more, first. Sorry if that's too low quality for someone so advanced. My dinosaur camera is a 35 mm camera with no video. Haven't used it for decades.
How about LX100 and LX100ii ? Your small camera review is fantastic, but needs an update to include Panasonic LX100ii, GX85/80, GX9; and Olympus EM10ii, EM10iii, EM5ii, EM5iii; and whatever Ricoh offers that's good; IMHO.
I cannot agree more. The Olympus 45mm F1.8 is a little gem of a lens. I use it on my second-hand GX-1 body and get great images, even in the studio when I don't want to use my DSLR's. I would even say that the 45mm is getting on par with the magical Limited prime lenses I have for my Pentax bodies for serious work. So much so, it is the perfect back-up to the K-1 and 77mm F.18 Limited at a fraction of the cost. It really is the "law of diminishing returns", yes the Leica designed 42.5mm as superb, but it is big, heavy, yet the Olympus 45, is just small light and just has that X factor on IQ for a fraction of the cost.
Absolutely love my "new" GX9 that I bought second hand from a local camera store. It had 113 shutter count when I bought it...and came with as 12-60 kit lens, battery and a the grip extension base plate (I have big hands, so this is very nice). All together...a whopping US$360 (the owner gave me an $65 break when I mentioned that I worked nearby...I did not even ask...how cool is that!). It is my favorite M4/3. I usually pair it with the Lumix 20/1.7. If I really need blurry backgrounds, I have over 30 "fast" vintage lenses, which also do well when mounted via a focal reducer. Of course, these vintage lenses are not little or light, save for something like a Jupiter-8 (50/2) or Jupiter-3 (50/1.5). The later lenses are relatively small, light (aluminum bodies) and deliver pleasing results to my eye. Yes, I do like manual focus when I can take my time; the GX9 has a very nice viewfinder w/focus peaking...so I am used to this process. [PS: I almost always buy used cameras from people that bought brand new and never used the damn thing...these deals are always around...if you have a bit of patience.]
I have the same camera and love it as well (although mine is called the GX7 mark iii). I bought one of the last remaining new ones with the 15mm 1.7 Leica lens kit, and it’s just so great. I love it so much that I am seriously considering getting a S5IIX later this year, based upon my experience with the GX7iii. Great ergonomics, nice menu system, beautiful to look at (I have the silver one). Plus there are tons of lenses available. I haven’t even really played around with the monochrome simulations yet; just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day. Panasonic is doing great these days.
You missed out the rather lovely but tiny Olympus Pen E-PL7 which generally out-scores the GX850/GX800, plus it has a flash hot shoe which also mounts the optional EVF VF-4, plus body-IS to stabilise those little unstabilised lenses. Try it with the pancake Panasonic Lumix GX Vario PZ14-42.
I have the GM5. It is the kind of camera you keep. I moved on later to APS-C then now Full Frame but if I had the lens that is available now I probably would have been happy with MFT. I moved on for better low light performance. Once I find the lens that I am looking for I will carry my GM5 as a backup to my Full Frame. I do have the Panasonic 42.5mm 1.7 which is a really good lens which is why I have kept it with my kit 12-32 (not very good) but the 42.5 (good for portraits) is too tight so it limited what I could do with it. I have been looking for a fast prime to stick on to my small GM5. I was thinking maybe the Olympus 25mm 1.8?
Absolutely love your videos. First of all, it's obvious you know your stuff - but at the same time you talk about real life usage and things that actually matter. You show plenty example pics of what you actually shoot. Great helpful content with a solar personality... Keep doing them!!
i love watching most of Marcus videos, i am also a big fan of compact Panasonic Lumix cameras, and some canon compact cameras but not the Nikon, but this one dose not sute me for my photography, i recommend his health videos, that is what i first started watching marcus's videos many years ago, he has a great personality and he tells you the truth about nutrition, no bs in his videos, just the raw truth and raw foods. raw food and phototgraphy are my top loves of my life, and that is why i recommend his videos.
This is great content. Respect for using and honestly recommend best value stuff being obviously able to afford everything there is on the market ;-) 45/1.8 will be soon mine for my g85.
I have the Olympus 45mm f1.8. I never bought the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 because I don't have room in my camera bag. As a wedding photographer I bring two backpacks and that's enough. My main go to lens is the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 and second lens is the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 and if there is something else I want to get then I'll pull some of my other lens out of my bag. For weddings always bring three cameras and three flashes and a bunch of lens so I have backup gear to backup gear. I've even done a few engagement shoots with my Olympus PEN E-PL5 and Olympus 17mm f2.8, Olympus 25mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8 and I bring the little flash also that came with the camera.
It is not possible for the sensor size to determine depth of field. Background blur, or bokeh, is not dependent on sensor size. It is dependent on the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50 mm lens on a micro four thirds sensor will give the same apparent field of view as a 100 mm on a full frame, but it will have greater depth of field. This is not because of sensor size. It is because of the different focal length of the lens. In this case, to get the same depth of field as the full frame lens, you need to increase the aperture (lower the f#) by a factor of 2.
My favorite daily carry is the G7X and it runs circles around any phone photo hahahah, Im learning so much from you! Im glad I found your channel... looks like I now have my eyes on what to upgrade to next!
Just arrived home after capturing a set of blurry bounded backgrounds with one of my bokeh producing lenses, a 10 bladed pre-Super 55mm Takumars, $55 in mint condition on EBay, lovely Bokeh, only one of many more like minded cheapies on my plate. Hundreds/thousands of dollars for alternatives? Just recently picked up a relatively cheap 50mm Zeuss Pancolar and an 8 element 50mm f1.4 Tak to be used for the same purposes..... Hundreds/Thousands for the same effect? Not Me.
Nikon 1J1 (cost $25) m2 adapter (cost $10) and a Meyer Optic Gorlitz Oreston (cost $20) - great bokeh and because everything is manual when you get a great shot you feel like you own it.
I got rid of the Panny gm1, missed it so much I got a used panny gx850 (why I am here). Main camera are my nikon z6 and d750. This gx850 is the same size as nikon 1 s1, but takes way better picture. Sadly they haven't updated the Gm1/ gx line in a while.
Pentax q if you can find one with the lenses....there’s not many. I think they were on to something but with Ricoh they killed it. It was different for a more consumer family sort of guy not a pro. Plus there was nothing like it...ever! But was miniature genius. I think someone should copy it. No idea why it didn’t catch on. To many pros harping on about sensor size and pixel count I guess. Plus it was Pentax so with so many canon and Nikon fan boys and pros who loved shitting on it because it was different surely killed it. Shame.
Those were all discussed in part two of this video. The 42.5 1.2 is not a small lightweight lens. The Sigma 30 1.4 is a great lens, but best for APSC, again, not a "smallest lightest" category for MFT ua-cam.com/video/sRZDIGFxf4s/v-deo.html
@@MarkusPix that's for sure ! The smallest lightest 20mm 1.7 is an amazing pancake lens but a bit slow to focus. I offered the 30mm 1.4 to my wife and the two advantages are that it only uses the center of the lens so it's extremely sharp on m43 and the other one is that 60mm (30x2) becomes a better option than the conventional 50mm focal length, just remove the lens hood and it becomes quite compact. Markus, your videos are awesome, just saw the one about your career, you are amazing, keep it going !
I just had to subscribe I love your enthusiasm excellent straight to the point no bullshit watch several of your programs now love you more especially the one where you talk about yourself very amazing person and to top it on your partner is pretty damn hot too hope you don’t mind me saying are you watching you a lot I believe thank you.
I have used Canon's 660D and the super new 90D. Honestly, I like the body stile, very substantial and all... But when I hold my Lumix G85 with the Zuiko 45mm, I always feel at home. The balance, the sharpness, the speed, micro 4/3 is something special.
Yeah, I often don’t have a camera when I’m not being paid to have one with me. Maybe a APS-C Sony, and just try baby steps away from my full frame cameras. Or, maybe I just need to “harden the F up” and carry the Canon with me.
Yoko Kurama bigger usually means better quality. Why compromise if you don't have to? It also helps people take you more seriously if you're into that kind of thing.
@@fingerhorn4 I did say "if you're into that kind of thing". I am not one of those people, but I know some that are. I'm all for smaller if it can match the quality of the larger devices, but if the larger ones gives me better results, I'll use it.
Cool video, it would have been interesting to see how the Ricoh gr3 would have done. That’s a very nice tiny camera. I hope to get one someday. Keep up the good work
Nice shot of Mike James Bride figure at 14:11 if you giving heavy lenses away I'll take the Lumix 42.5 1.2 shooting an action film with a GH5 and it would be a great addition to the production. Great video. Best Regards John from New Zealand
I have the GX800/GX850 and I regularly use it with the 12-32 kit lens, the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and the Panasonic 42.5 f1.7, it's an awesome compact system. I have the Panasonic G7 and a couple other lenses for situations that don't require such a small setup or when I need a viewfinder and/or bigger lenses. I'm sure that FF have his advantages but I love the Micro 4/3 system.
I bought the rx1rii and I really love it! It’s great. But I’m looking for something that has that sort of quality but for video instead. I don’t mind a bigger set up, could you recommend?
I really like micro 4/3. I got a like new Olympus EP-5 with 5 axis stabilization for under $300 and the Zuiko 45mm for $200. The best thing about a mature system like micro 4/3 is that you can usually find good deals on barely used gear. I even found an EM-1 with battery grip and a shutter count of 2200 for $299. Tough to find deals like that in APS-C or full frame. Your videos help put the fun back in photography. Thanks for that.
Haha I wish! They don't create blurry backgrounds with full- body people shots. That's like asking for a stripper playmate that cooks gourmet meals, cleans and discusses astrophysics.
other great video from you Markus. You just showed again best technical parametres are not everythink. May I ask you kindly what lens would you buy for sony a7iii if I wanna shoot portraits also what lens for video do you prefer on e mount system. Thank you again for educating me you re star :)
Hello Marek. The Samsung NX mini would be a much more desirable choice. It is much flatter and lighter and has a sensor almost 3X bigger than the EX2F, plus the NX mini has touch screen and face detection which the EX does not. The Max ISO is also 300% higher and you can change lenses on the NX mini. Here are two videos mentioning the NX mini ua-cam.com/video/kGXL_D3F8YM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/oOkqoOcoH-k/v-deo.html
With all due respect, this is a really weird video to me. 'Smallest camera for blurry background' is completely meaningless as the blurry background actually comes from a shallow depth of field (lower f-stops), which comes from the lens' aperture! That is, lenses with widest aperture (lower f-stop) would produce blurred background (bokeh). It's evident in this video as well, all the lenses used here have f/2 or f/1.8 or even f/.95 (mitakon). If used with higher f stops (for example, f/6), the same camera-lens set up would produce an image almost without any background-blur.
Uh yes, that is basic photography. The title is not meaningless because so many people want a blurry background but want small portable lightweight cameras and lenses- so this video is about the SMALLEST setup capable of producing a blurry background.
@@MarkusPix Agreed that the title is more user friendly, but conceptually incorrect nevertheless. But as you’ve said, it'd be appropriate if it said smallest 'set-up' instead of 'cameras'. Thanks for the reply btw! Peace.
You should also try the Panasonic LX100 series, yes, it is not lens interchangeable, but it comes with a high quality 24-75mm equiv F1.7-2.8 zoom lens!!! But this small m4/3 camera doesn't come with a flip screen only a fix lcd, and also can't do audio line in, thats its weakness,.
Well that was an interesting adversarial for Sony, Lumix and Lieca. You would have a better line up if you had included the Olympus brand, but hey you were getting paid by Sony. The Olympus lens is a beauty, that will be my next purchase for my EP-5 and my OMD 1mk2
Haha I get paid by nobody. Olympus cameras are just too clunky for me. I like the little Lumix cameras more personally. ua-cam.com/video/vj2eji4ms5A/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/RsGItKe6cbA/v-deo.html
“Clunky” well that's a description that will have people laughing, before using descriptive words please understand what they mean. adjective: clunky; comparative adjective: clunkier; superlative adjective: clunkiest 1. solid, heavy, and old-fashioned. "even last year's laptops look clunky" 2. making a clunking sound. "clunky conveyor belts" So that's how you describe an Olympus digital camera, personally I would have called them “fiddly” but once menu is understood very simple. I do agree that the lumix camera GX8/9 are excellent camera.
edit: just saw your videos on the nx500. i'll leave my comment online anyway since i love this camera system so much. with those big lenses there isn't really a point for small cameras... samsung nx500 with 30mm/f2 pancake. it doesn't get smaller than this. even though they left the camera business years ago, i still didn't find a worthy successor that is as compact and ergonomic. makes a perfect couple with the nx1
Markus....you always talk about the Olympus 45, and you like the gx850 (no IBIS)....you ever try the Lumix 42.5? Its pretty sharp, and it has Lens Stabilization!
MarkusPix , try Fujian 35 1.7 on sony apsc. It does things to the background, you might like it a lot, it is very unique. I am using that lens all the time. Because of this lens I don't even wanna go full frame any more.. Just try it. Trust me.. I have tested so many lenses.. new and vintage.. But this Fujian.. No CA, sharp at 1.7 and amazing bokeh.
10:02 Interesting side-by-each comparison. I realize you are showing bokeh comparison. TBH, I can't see much difference in image sharpness due to UA-cam video compression and your 1080p resolution viewed on my 4K monitor (desktop computer). You made a point about 1080p earlier in your video. I shoot and publish everything in 4K. I haven't checked device viewing stats but I'm guessing most viewed from smartphones where 1080p is typically enough. With larger screens and ever-increasing resolution of smartphones and tablets, I speculate they can benefit from 4K UA-cam videos. I have the G9 and Nocticron lens which is my reference for image sharpness. Slow motion on the G9 is recorded in 1080p and lower bitrate than 4K video. When I view the image quality difference, it's night and day between 1080p and 4K. When I go shooting, I carry my G9 with 3 lenses in my backpack. Your tiny rig wins! 10:36 Amusing! Have you taken that combination to the streets to see how many looks you get? LOL (Remove the lens hood on the Nocticron and it becomes a little less crazy. ) Computation computing in smartphone cameras delivers the smallest device for great bokeh. Their image quality and other AI capabilities will ultimately replace interchangeable lens cameras for the masses.
Yes , I have a Complete set of Rokinon Lenses, as when I shoot a Film , I want color continuity throughout every shot, couldn't afford a set of Ziess Primes or Tokina Primes ,are way above my Budget,....... Though you are right about the Voigtlander lens , beautiful Glass, and great build, I will eventually get the 25mm f/0.95 for around $650..... Great shallow depth of Field and Great low light capabilities........Love shooting at Night.......Thanks for all your great Insight into all the Gear, you are Brilliant!!!!!!!...........
The GX85 is still a solid camera, I have one to compliment an Olympus EM1.2. The EM10 line is also pretty small, but it isn't going to contest the GX850 and definitely not the GM1/GM5. The Canon M cameras like the M10, M100, and M200 are all really small but pretty good stills cameras. The M100 seems to have gained some favor for street photography and the like where it's not highspeed action and size is more important. The M-mount is basically end of life at this point with Canon shifting both APS-C and Full frame mirrorless to the same mount (good for the consumer, no complaints here). There are still enough quality lenses in what's available for a good experience. Fuji kind of proves that you don't need 600 random lenses, you just need a small collection of solid lenses that work well. Personally, I'm a fan of rangefinder style brick bodies and would like an updated GM camera. The GM5 was and is basically my favorite small camera.
The smallest camera giving you a blurry background is a smart smartphone :-) But I prefer my Fujifilm XT 20 with a speedbooster and a canon EF 50 1.8 results in a 35 1.3 (APSC numbers)
Just got the same set up after watching your video... lumix gx850 with the olympus 45mm f/1.8. Great potraits

I have Olympus Pen F. It's a great combo with the Oly 45mm f/1.8.
You got it, Paul.
A pen-f would have been great to see I'm thinking of selling my x-t3

The Lumix G100 is smaller, lighter, has double the ISO, a fully articulated screen instead of just tilting, a much higher resolution viewfinder, higher rez LCD screen, and at least some form of stabilization. There's a reason they stopped making it but the G100 still goes on.

I'm your channel! Small and lightweight is my thing
Ricoh GR III with APSC sensor and retractable lens is also nice. The issue is that the lens is too wide at 28mm and the video sucks.
If you have the money and don't mind the size, medium format sensors take the cake for "biggest sensor." Maybe someday we'll get an 800MP large format digital camera that you still have to get under a cloth to use and uses flash bulbs.
I don't need the biggest sensors, just something small and lightweight that can capture my experiences and memories

i use canon ef , my first was a yashica electo ,im no pro ,that might for good(no reson relate i have to be ...) , as told i buyed my 1st dslr 1 week ago in new conditon on e-bay , physical bay scale all over 10 mega pix is mystical/nonsence . by sight / sensor Quality, Qulity off the sd card quality off the en graficard quality off the en Printer or display monitor/ photon sice to picel , rasta dots by ensicing digital , so it wood take 3 weeks labor proof but im about 8 goga is rlate all over 10 , myst for me as i say atm . /// Blury background // siver film can dio that better any digi i gues ,nothing i relat as important .and dificult .
Honest 'Blurry background' . Others will say low light, but what they actually want is Bokeh.
11:05 “it goes pijui pji pji”
Awesome, I love this acoustic demonstration.
Yes this is a very hi-tech channel! 😉
that Oly 45mm f1.8 was my favorite lens on the featherweight Lumix G6 . When i moved to the G85 , i took the Pana 42.5mm f1.7 instead because of the closer minimum distance and flatter field, more suited for general photography . But i still have the 45 and would probably use it again for a portrait session.
Have you thought of offering some Udemy courses on how to set up scenes with smartphones and then more advanced ones with these great cameras? I'll see what I can learn with my smartphone more, first. Sorry if that's too low quality for someone so advanced. My dinosaur camera is a 35 mm camera with no video. Haven't used it for decades.
Well I did make a video on how to use a cell phone to light a photoshoot lol ua-cam.com/video/Joe4xR9rbJQ/v-deo.html
How about LX100 and LX100ii ? Your small camera review is fantastic, but needs an update to include Panasonic LX100ii, GX85/80, GX9; and Olympus EM10ii, EM10iii, EM5ii, EM5iii; and whatever Ricoh offers that's good; IMHO.
You blew me away when you said what you were filming this video on- wow.
I cannot agree more. The Olympus 45mm F1.8 is a little gem of a lens. I use it on my second-hand GX-1 body and get great images, even in the studio when I don't want to use my DSLR's. I would even say that the 45mm is getting on par with the magical Limited prime lenses I have for my Pentax bodies for serious work. So much so, it is the perfect back-up to the K-1 and 77mm F.18 Limited at a fraction of the cost. It really is the "law of diminishing returns", yes the Leica designed 42.5mm as superb, but it is big, heavy, yet the Olympus 45, is just small light and just has that X factor on IQ for a fraction of the cost.
It’s all about f stops and a longer lens! Unless you’re a professional photographer don’t waste your money on professional photography equipment!
Absolutely love my "new" GX9 that I bought second hand from a local camera store. It had 113 shutter count when I bought it...and came with as 12-60 kit lens, battery and a the grip extension base plate (I have big hands, so this is very nice). All together...a whopping US$360 (the owner gave me an $65 break when I mentioned that I worked nearby...I did not even ask...how cool is that!). It is my favorite M4/3. I usually pair it with the Lumix 20/1.7. If I really need blurry backgrounds, I have over 30 "fast" vintage lenses, which also do well when mounted via a focal reducer. Of course, these vintage lenses are not little or light, save for something like a Jupiter-8 (50/2) or Jupiter-3 (50/1.5). The later lenses are relatively small, light (aluminum bodies) and deliver pleasing results to my eye. Yes, I do like manual focus when I can take my time; the GX9 has a very nice viewfinder w/focus peaking...so I am used to this process. [PS: I almost always buy used cameras from people that bought brand new and never used the damn thing...these deals are always around...if you have a bit of patience.]
I have the same camera and love it as well (although mine is called the GX7 mark iii). I bought one of the last remaining new ones with the 15mm 1.7 Leica lens kit, and it’s just so great. I love it so much that I am seriously considering getting a S5IIX later this year, based upon my experience with the GX7iii. Great ergonomics, nice menu system, beautiful to look at (I have the silver one). Plus there are tons of lenses available. I haven’t even really played around with the monochrome simulations yet; just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day. Panasonic is doing great these days.
I have an Olympus E-PL7 with lens kit 14 42 pancake it's really small device It can fit in the pocket of my jacket
You missed out the rather lovely but tiny Olympus Pen E-PL7 which generally out-scores the GX850/GX800, plus it has a flash hot shoe which also mounts the optional EVF VF-4, plus body-IS to stabilise those little unstabilised lenses.
Try it with the pancake Panasonic Lumix GX Vario PZ14-42.
I have the GM5. It is the kind of camera you keep. I moved on later to APS-C then now Full Frame but if I had the lens that is available now I probably would have been happy with MFT. I moved on for better low light performance. Once I find the lens that I am looking for I will carry my GM5 as a backup to my Full Frame. I do have the Panasonic 42.5mm 1.7 which is a really good lens which is why I have kept it with my kit 12-32 (not very good) but the 42.5 (good for portraits) is too tight so it limited what I could do with it. I have been looking for a fast prime to stick on to my small GM5. I was thinking maybe the Olympus 25mm 1.8?
RayT I have the oly 25 1.8 and it is great.
Love my GM5
Just wish there was an update.
Absolutely love your videos. First of all, it's obvious you know your stuff - but at the same time you talk about real life usage and things that actually matter. You show plenty example pics of what you actually shoot. Great helpful content with a solar personality... Keep doing them!!
Would somebody please tell Tony and Clickbait? Great, really interesting, video Markus.
Fujifilm X-E3 with Fujinon 35mm f1.4
i love watching most of Marcus videos, i am also a big fan of compact Panasonic Lumix cameras, and some canon compact cameras but not the Nikon, but this one dose not sute me for my photography, i recommend his health videos, that is what i first started watching marcus's videos many years ago, he has a great personality and he tells you the truth about nutrition, no bs in his videos, just the raw truth and raw foods. raw food and phototgraphy are my top loves of my life, and that is why i recommend his videos.
Ditto...So when do us 3 go shoot, eat plant based, and hike, eat more plant based, and shoot?....in any order
This is great content. Respect for using and honestly recommend best value stuff being obviously able to afford everything there is on the market ;-) 45/1.8 will be soon mine for my g85.
your videos blow away casey and pete in the raw realistic sense
I have the Olympus 45mm f1.8. I never bought the Panasonic 42.5mm f1.2 because I don't have room in my camera bag. As a wedding photographer I bring two backpacks and that's enough. My main go to lens is the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 and second lens is the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 and if there is something else I want to get then I'll pull some of my other lens out of my bag.
For weddings always bring three cameras and three flashes and a bunch of lens so I have backup gear to backup gear.
I've even done a few engagement shoots with my Olympus PEN E-PL5 and Olympus 17mm f2.8, Olympus 25mm f1.7 and Olympus 45mm f1.8 and I bring the little flash also that came with the camera.
It is not possible for the sensor size to determine depth of field. Background blur, or bokeh, is not dependent on sensor size. It is dependent on the focal length of the lens. For example, a 50 mm lens on a micro four thirds sensor will give the same apparent field of view as a 100 mm on a full frame, but it will have greater depth of field. This is not because of sensor size. It is because of the different focal length of the lens. In this case, to get the same depth of field as the full frame lens, you need to increase the aperture (lower the f#) by a factor of 2.
Fuji x100f! Love mine to carry anywhere!
My favorite daily carry is the G7X and it runs circles around any phone photo hahahah, Im learning so much from you! Im glad I found your channel... looks like I now have my eyes on what to upgrade to next!
Just arrived home after capturing a set of blurry bounded backgrounds with one of my bokeh producing lenses, a 10 bladed pre-Super 55mm Takumars, $55 in mint condition on EBay, lovely Bokeh, only one of many more like minded cheapies on my plate. Hundreds/thousands of dollars for alternatives? Just recently picked up a relatively cheap 50mm Zeuss Pancolar and an 8 element 50mm f1.4 Tak to be used for the same purposes..... Hundreds/Thousands for the same effect? Not Me.
Nikon 1J1 (cost $25) m2 adapter (cost $10) and a Meyer Optic Gorlitz Oreston (cost $20) - great bokeh and because everything is manual when you get a great shot you feel like you own it.
And now we have the Panasonic G100. Still tiny and yet amazingly capable.
Yes ua-cam.com/video/35KV31_CT5I/v-deo.html and G100 20scenarios
ua-cam.com/video/oBp5dMnAJ9M/v-deo.html
MarkusPix I have seen your excellent reviews of the G100 and I highly recommend people to watch them.
Fuji XT20 or XT30 with a 23 F2 or 35F2...Amazing bokeh and so small + EVF and Hotshoe and so much more ! Also price to match Markus
I got rid of the Panny gm1, missed it so much I got a used panny gx850 (why I am here). Main camera are my nikon z6 and d750. This gx850 is the same size as nikon 1 s1, but takes way better picture. Sadly they haven't updated the Gm1/ gx line in a while.
I love my GM1, so I got 2 of them, and also 2 GM5. Did you see this ua-cam.com/video/vj2eji4ms5A/v-deo.html
Fujifilm also has some really small cameras :) like X-T10, X-T20 or X-E1, X-E2 even X70 and they have APS-C size sensor
P.S. - I use my vintage bokeh killers on my Fujifilms & Sony A7 when EyE wants full frame, works both ways to varying degrees.
It’s a pity Panasonic discontinued the LUMIX GM5, it was smaller than the gx850 and it had an evf as well. I’m starting to regret selling mine..
I loved having mine in Europe ua-cam.com/video/vj2eji4ms5A/v-deo.html
Pentax q if you can find one with the lenses....there’s not many. I think they were on to something but with Ricoh they killed it. It was different for a more consumer family sort of guy not a pro. Plus there was nothing like it...ever! But was miniature genius. I think someone should copy it. No idea why it didn’t catch on. To many pros harping on about sensor size and pixel count I guess. Plus it was Pentax so with so many canon and Nikon fan boys and pros who loved shitting on it because it was different surely killed it. Shame.
Ricoh GRIII is an AMAZING camera. Only limitation is the fixed lens with 2.8F. But its so sharp and offers wonderful colors, IBIS and a APSC sensor.
Thanks for the review, Markus! However, I'd just like to say, for the average Jo like me, 700 bucks is a lot of cash.
the olympus omd em10 makr 3 will be better you will get evf +image stabilization+ better auto foucs
yes but the purpose of this video is the SMALLEST cameras possible that make blurry backgrounds
this is what I use for my everyday use and travel, one of my favourite camera, and a powerful one for the price and size ,
MarkusPix olympus em10 and em5 aren’t that big though imho
GX80 + any 42.5mmv1.7 or 1.2 / 45mm 1.2 or 1.8 / 56mm 1.4 or even the shorter and amazing Sigma 30mm 1.4 are a fantastic combo for creamy portraits
Those were all discussed in part two of this video. The 42.5 1.2 is not a small lightweight lens. The Sigma 30 1.4 is a great lens, but best for APSC, again, not a "smallest lightest" category for MFT ua-cam.com/video/sRZDIGFxf4s/v-deo.html
@@MarkusPix that's for sure ! The smallest lightest 20mm 1.7 is an amazing pancake lens but a bit slow to focus. I offered the 30mm 1.4 to my wife and the two advantages are that it only uses the center of the lens so it's extremely sharp on m43 and the other one is that 60mm (30x2) becomes a better option than the conventional 50mm focal length, just remove the lens hood and it becomes quite compact. Markus, your videos are awesome, just saw the one about your career, you are amazing, keep it going !
I just had to subscribe I love your enthusiasm excellent straight to the point no bullshit watch several of your programs now love you more especially the one where you talk about yourself very amazing person and to top it on your partner is pretty damn hot too hope you don’t mind me saying are you watching you a lot I believe thank you.
I have used Canon's 660D and the super new 90D. Honestly, I like the body stile, very substantial and all... But when I hold my Lumix G85 with the Zuiko 45mm, I always feel at home. The balance, the sharpness, the speed, micro 4/3 is something special.
No dirt cheap vintage manual lenses? Bunch of lenses for a fraction of the cost of one of your suggestions, that’s what EyE do.
Yeah, I often don’t have a camera when I’m not being paid to have one with me. Maybe a APS-C Sony, and just try baby steps away from my full frame cameras. Or, maybe I just need to “harden the F up” and carry the Canon with me.
Apparently, they don't make these anymore. Is there a good replacement? Great video BTW.
That Olympus 45 mm 1.8 is my favorite lens. I got a used one on special for $100 on Ebay. Cara is looking extra athletic and beautiful in this video!
Why do you prefer big and clunky in the studio when you can be small?
Yoko Kurama bigger usually means better quality. Why compromise if you don't have to? It also helps people take you more seriously if you're into that kind of thing.
@@fingerhorn4 I did say "if you're into that kind of thing". I am not one of those people, but I know some that are. I'm all for smaller if it can match the quality of the larger devices, but if the larger ones gives me better results, I'll use it.
Great video thanks......I am looking at the GX850 but heard focus motor was noisy in video with kit lens ?
yeah a little, but I always record my audio separate anyways
Cool video, it would have been interesting to see how the Ricoh gr3 would have done. That’s a very nice tiny camera. I hope to get one someday. Keep up the good work
Impressive photos from such a small MFT combo! If you didn't tell, i would say those were shots taken with the "big guns" :) Simply amazing!
Nice shot of Mike James Bride figure at 14:11 if you giving heavy lenses away I'll take the Lumix 42.5 1.2 shooting an action film with a GH5 and it would be a great addition to the production. Great video. Best Regards John from New Zealand
Yeah my favorite desk ornament! :-)
Beautiful results on those lumix. Salute
i got the GX800/50 for only $200 new on clearance! With the pana 12-42 kit lense
Score!!!
@@MarkusPix thnx you omo
I have the GX800/GX850 and I regularly use it with the 12-32 kit lens, the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and the Panasonic 42.5 f1.7, it's an awesome compact system. I have the Panasonic G7 and a couple other lenses for situations that don't require such a small setup or when I need a viewfinder and/or bigger lenses. I'm sure that FF have his advantages but I love the Micro 4/3 system.
Yes!! The 25mm f1.4 is also a great wider lens that still has nice bokeh
Olympus TG5 perfect for travel , outdoors but it's simple a point and shoot . Great camera .
Do a review of canon sx210 is
Please
I had one of those ten years ago, it doesn't work anymore
@@MarkusPix omg you replied😍♥️
I bought the rx1rii and I really love it! It’s great. But I’m looking for something that has that sort of quality but for video instead. I don’t mind a bigger set up, could you recommend?
Depends if its on a tripod, then something like an A7iii, or if handheld, then APSC like a 6600
Have you tried the Pentax q? Fits easily in the pocket and has tiny lenses
The smallest camera with the smallest lens? Easy, that's a smart phone 😉
I really like micro 4/3. I got a like new Olympus EP-5 with 5 axis stabilization for under $300 and the Zuiko 45mm for $200. The best thing about a mature system like micro 4/3 is that you can usually find good deals on barely used gear. I even found an EM-1 with battery grip and a shutter count of 2200 for $299. Tough to find deals like that in APS-C or full frame. Your videos help put the fun back in photography. Thanks for that.
EP-5 is a great camera, I just wish it had a built in viewfinder

Great video! Thoughts on the Panasonic LX100 and similar non ILC's would have been nice to see too.
Haha I wish! They don't create blurry backgrounds with full- body people shots. That's like asking for a stripper playmate that cooks gourmet meals, cleans and discusses astrophysics.
Am inspired by all you do. ..... From Nigeria
I don't get the woop about blurry background
best video ever from 2000's look. I love it 🥰 😻 😍
I wish there was a chain of Marcus Pix shops … 😍
Full frame is NOT the biggest sensor you can get.
yes we know, I meant for normal people. Very few people use medium format
Great video! Thanks so much!!! Now I can only find the Lumix GX-880. Looks the same. Does it have the same quality?
Its the same camera. The 880 is the Euro version
@@MarkusPix Makes sense then, since I come frome Europe... ;-)
other great video from you Markus. You just showed again best technical parametres are not everythink. May I ask you kindly what lens would you buy for sony a7iii if I wanna shoot portraits also what lens for video do you prefer on e mount system. Thank you again for educating me you re star :)

@@MarkusPix I just watched video I ll go for 85mm sony as you recomendet. Thank you Markus :)
Can you tell us something about Samsung EX2F 1.4 camera pls?
Hello Marek. The Samsung NX mini would be a much more desirable choice. It is much flatter and lighter and has a sensor almost 3X bigger than the EX2F, plus the NX mini has touch screen and face detection which the EX does not. The Max ISO is also 300% higher and you can change lenses on the NX mini. Here are two videos mentioning the NX mini
ua-cam.com/video/kGXL_D3F8YM/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/oOkqoOcoH-k/v-deo.html
THIS is exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you going for the olympus em10 with that lens
Nice video 📸🙏
11:05 that sound fx really got me
14:33 the Sony RX1R mark 2 does not do 4k video, it shoots up to 60fps at 1080p, or 120fps at 720p
With all due respect, this is a really weird video to me.
'Smallest camera for blurry background' is completely meaningless as the blurry background actually comes from a shallow depth of field (lower f-stops), which comes from the lens' aperture! That is, lenses with widest aperture (lower f-stop) would produce blurred background (bokeh). It's evident in this video as well, all the lenses used here have f/2 or f/1.8 or even f/.95 (mitakon).
If used with higher f stops (for example, f/6), the same camera-lens set up would produce an image almost without any background-blur.
Uh yes, that is basic photography. The title is not meaningless because so many people want a blurry background but want small portable lightweight cameras and lenses- so this video is about the SMALLEST setup capable of producing a blurry background.
@@MarkusPix Agreed that the title is more user friendly, but conceptually incorrect nevertheless. But as you’ve said, it'd be appropriate if it said smallest 'set-up' instead of 'cameras'. Thanks for the reply btw! Peace.
My favorite travel camera is the Sony RX10 MKIII. 24 to 600mm, 3.8k video, good audio with ext mic.
Cara is a dead ringer for Goldie Hawn..
You should also try the Panasonic LX100 series, yes, it is not lens interchangeable, but it comes with a high quality 24-75mm equiv F1.7-2.8 zoom lens!!! But this small m4/3 camera doesn't come with a flip screen only a fix lcd, and also can't do audio line in, thats its weakness,.
The F numbers sound good but it doesn't really create blurry backgrounds unfortunately when shooting people
@@MarkusPix But it is already the best in the fix zoom lens compact camera market.
Well that was an interesting adversarial for Sony, Lumix and Lieca.
You would have a better line up if you had included the Olympus brand, but hey you were getting paid by Sony.
The Olympus lens is a beauty, that will be my next purchase for my EP-5 and my OMD 1mk2
Haha I get paid by nobody. Olympus cameras are just too clunky for me. I like the little Lumix cameras more personally. ua-cam.com/video/vj2eji4ms5A/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/RsGItKe6cbA/v-deo.html
“Clunky” well that's a description that will have people laughing, before using descriptive words please understand what they mean.
adjective: clunky; comparative adjective: clunkier; superlative adjective: clunkiest
1.
solid, heavy, and old-fashioned.
"even last year's laptops look clunky"
2.
making a clunking sound.
"clunky conveyor belts"
So that's how you describe an Olympus digital camera, personally I would have called them “fiddly” but once menu is understood very simple.
I do agree that the lumix camera GX8/9 are excellent camera.
edit: just saw your videos on the nx500. i'll leave my comment online anyway since i love this camera system so much.
with those big lenses there isn't really a point for small cameras... samsung nx500 with 30mm/f2 pancake. it doesn't get smaller than this. even though they left the camera business years ago, i still didn't find a worthy successor that is as compact and ergonomic. makes a perfect couple with the nx1
Markus....you always talk about the Olympus 45, and you like the gx850 (no IBIS)....you ever try the Lumix 42.5? Its pretty sharp, and it has Lens Stabilization!
ua-cam.com/video/0eDOCAokkko/v-deo.html I never use them, so I gave one away ua-cam.com/video/APYfgYuBpTc/v-deo.html
@@MarkusPix I am not referring to that "Beast"....im talking about the Lumix 42.5 1.7. It doesnt have an OIS switch, but it is Optical Stabilization.
How much camera you bought??
MarkusPix
, try Fujian 35 1.7 on sony apsc. It does things to the background, you might like it a lot, it is very unique. I am using that lens all the time. Because of this lens I don't even wanna go full frame any more.. Just try it. Trust me.. I have tested so many lenses.. new and vintage.. But this Fujian.. No CA, sharp at 1.7 and amazing bokeh.
I'm have a new obsession! Thx a lot!
10:02 Interesting side-by-each comparison. I realize you are showing bokeh comparison. TBH, I can't see much difference in image sharpness due to UA-cam video compression and your 1080p resolution viewed on my 4K monitor (desktop computer). You made a point about 1080p earlier in your video. I shoot and publish everything in 4K. I haven't checked device viewing stats but I'm guessing most viewed from smartphones where 1080p is typically enough. With larger screens and ever-increasing resolution of smartphones and tablets, I speculate they can benefit from 4K UA-cam videos.
I have the G9 and Nocticron lens which is my reference for image sharpness. Slow motion on the G9 is recorded in 1080p and lower bitrate than 4K video. When I view the image quality difference, it's night and day between 1080p and 4K. When I go shooting, I carry my G9 with 3 lenses in my backpack. Your tiny rig wins!
10:36 Amusing! Have you taken that combination to the streets to see how many looks you get? LOL (Remove the lens hood on the Nocticron and it becomes a little less crazy.
)
Computation computing in smartphone cameras delivers the smallest device for great bokeh. Their image quality and other AI capabilities will ultimately replace interchangeable lens cameras for the masses.
Very informative review. Definitely, encourages me to delve deeper into M43 cams. Thanks for this.
Yes , I have a Complete set of Rokinon Lenses, as when I shoot a Film , I want color continuity throughout every shot, couldn't afford a set of Ziess Primes or Tokina Primes ,are way above my Budget,....... Though you are right about the Voigtlander lens , beautiful Glass, and great build, I will eventually get the 25mm f/0.95 for around $650..... Great shallow depth of Field and Great low light capabilities........Love shooting at Night.......Thanks for all your great Insight into all the Gear, you are Brilliant!!!!!!!...........
The GX85 is still a solid camera, I have one to compliment an Olympus EM1.2. The EM10 line is also pretty small, but it isn't going to contest the GX850 and definitely not the GM1/GM5. The Canon M cameras like the M10, M100, and M200 are all really small but pretty good stills cameras. The M100 seems to have gained some favor for street photography and the like where it's not highspeed action and size is more important. The M-mount is basically end of life at this point with Canon shifting both APS-C and Full frame mirrorless to the same mount (good for the consumer, no complaints here). There are still enough quality lenses in what's available for a good experience. Fuji kind of proves that you don't need 600 random lenses, you just need a small collection of solid lenses that work well.
Personally, I'm a fan of rangefinder style brick bodies and would like an updated GM camera. The GM5 was and is basically my favorite small camera.
The smallest camera giving you a blurry background is a smart smartphone :-)
But I prefer my Fujifilm XT 20 with a speedbooster and a canon EF 50 1.8 results in a 35 1.3 (APSC numbers)
