You rock! Great selection of cameras. You can never go wrong with Panasonic quality and technology. One of the world technology leaders. Must have been a fantastic vacation. Love Europe.
What a breath of fresh air - your passion comes through- Exceptional video ... top notch. You both are Model Quality... very neat and cool couple ... I am a Fan. Can’t wait for the next vid
Even looking at the gx9 today i note it doesn't have auto iso in manual mode like the gm5 does. And I shoot in that mode most of the time. Fingers crossed my gm5 never dies then i guess
And that thumb wheel makes all the difference, the gm1 was very screen centred which wasn't much use in bright sunshine. We just sold our gm1 and bought a second gm5 instead. I've got a gx9 but for walking / climbing it's a gm5 I reach for
Super great quality out of these little cameras Markus. Currently i am saving for the Canon Eos R. If all goes well i can get it towards the end of the year. Safe Travels and love your channel.
I am already invested in micro 4/3 and really wanted to know the difference between all the littlest camera bodies I could put an extra lens onto and this video was perfect for that!
Rent a Sony RX10M4 Camera to see if you like it as it gives really good bokeh. It's the most professional all-in-one portable camera system. I own one.
Hi Markus ! I'm struggling between the GX850 and the NX500 ... Which one would you recommend for making B-roll and cinematic videos ? Like you I love blurry background and even if I manage to have some with the RX100V (ND filter + 1.8 and close up most of the time) I feel like I need an upgrade. The A6400 looks like a good option but is it really better than GX850 and NX500 ?
Ooh the GX850 and NX500 are two of my fav cameras. The GX850 is smaller and lighter but the NX500 has a bigger sensor- in fact it's sensor is bigger than the 6400. The only benefit of the 6400 is the viewfinder. The NX500 weighs half what the 6400 does. ua-cam.com/video/2UUZfvfhrvQ/v-deo.html All three are good cameras and you'd get great results with all of them.
@@MarkusPix I know they are your favorites ! I just watched your entire videos in only 2 days, love your content ! I might go with the GX85, it's a big heavier but apparently the stabilization is awesome. Would you recommend the panasonic 25mm F 1.7 with it or would you have another favorite choice ?
While these cameras are good, none other than GX800/850 is now available new in market. He also showed portrait lenses. These are not good for travel photography. The best and most affordable MFT travel lens is Panasonic 12-32 pancake or Olympus 14-42 EZ, which are kit lenses come with Panasonic/Olympus cameras. If you want prime, go for 14 to 17 mm focal lengths for travel shots.
This video has my camera ethos written all over it. Bravo Markus! It's why my first real new digital was the GX1 which you showed, and today I'm still using my GM3 and GX850 all the time even tho I have plenty of other bigger cameras. These are the kings of travel cameras. I have never understood why these cameras never became hugely popular for travel by pro-super types given their size, matched with their interchangeable lens functionality and tiny but fast lenses. They are fantastic for travel, or that night at a party where you don't want to take a big camera or stick out at the party, and yet all along you have a great tool with an amazing depth of manual features, and amazing results. And! You can take one or two more lenses along in your pocket. A bit slow compared to some these days, some focus issues depending on the lens you use, no in-body stabilization, but only on some slower lenses, but you just need to learn how to use this camera and the best suited lenses and you're golden. Love that you did this video. It hits the nail on the head of why these cameras have no match for their combo of features, and I hope in years to come someone will continue to produce a tiny but very capable interchangeable lens camera like these.
haha I'm laughing at this video....The son of a Gun takes better photos on those puny cameras than I have ever taken in my life... lol!! Bravo Markus, Bravo.
So great to hear you talk about photography with passion rather than pixel peeping. So many other channels talk about what you can't do with equipment, you focus on what the small cameras can do. Thank you!
After watching this (in June 2020), I searched and searched for a Panasonic GM5 and I did find one (in English!) on ebay. It took a few weeks to find one that was not from Japan, with the Japanese menus. I looked up how to "win on ebay" and used their tips and I won it (cost me $481)! I am so excited to use this tiny camera, which I will pair with the Panasonic 45-175mm (90-350mm equivalent) lens for now, because I love that set of focal lengths for the photography I generally do. This lens zooms internally so it's really small ( for 350mm!!) and light. The entire thing will fit in a pocket. (Yay!!) Later, I may try a fixed focal length lens that is faster and with better bokeh (as suggested in your other videos). I'll have to decide how much to put into a MFT system, since Olympus just announced they're getting away from that now. Anyway, THANK YOU for this video and the review of the tiny travel cameras, and I can't wait to play with it! Your videos are uniformly informative and most of all, USEFUL, unlike so many photography vlogs out there. I am so grateful. Happy summer!
I totally agree that the Panasonic GM1 and GM5 are some incomparable cameras. Have both, but a lot of optics for m43, but also other optics. They work with all of the optics, and slide straight into a pocket.
Love these budget camera reviews. Gives us passionate yet poor photographers some hope of improving our craft without spending more a camera then I’ve ever actually spent on a car. 😂
Im looking at the panisonic s5 and 20-60mm for landscape If i get it i will sell some of my micro four thirds lens The em1 and my x-t3 are almost to small the Panasonic 12mm1.4 ,42.5mm and are perfect size
What a cool video! I regret having sold my GM1 a while back, I find myself missing it. I've wanted a GM5 but it is sold-out everywhere I look! Wow! It looks like Panasonic hit a home run with the GM5. I love shooting my Sony A7iii for my client work but it's just too big for walking around and having fun. Perhaps I'll pick up a used Lumix GX850...? Thank you again for posting and sharing.
I see these lovely little vameras and they do make ideal travel cameras. I have had a couple of 1" sensor ICL cameras when I've travelled and experienced the difference it makes to have an entire basic camera system spread over two jacket pockets (spare battery in the shirt pocket, of course.) I am now using and enjoying a GX 8, not a tiny camera by any means, but still more portable than my original Sony SLT. It strikes me that we often think in terms of professional cameras -v- travel cameras, but there is at least one class which isn't often mentioned; that is, business cameras. Many businesses could make great use of small but powerful cameras which may not be G 9s or EM-1s, but produce excellent results for reports, newsletters, brochures and such. In my town planning days, we did some enforcement as well as the day to day development control work. We also worked with health inspectors and building assessors and there were many times when a travel sized camera would have been ideal for obtaining not only useful information for our internal purposes, but high quality images which could also be enlarged to A4 size for use in court reports Perhaps promotions could pay more attention to such use cases.
not quite as small but i have the Lumix GX9 with pl 15 f1.7 , pl 25 f1.4 and Sigma 60 f2.8 as my light kit. I mostly wish the viewfinder was larger but it's overall excellent.
Just traveled in Europe last week with my GM1, super handy with good quality, and i just bring 3 lenses 7-14mm 25mm 1.4 and 56mm 1.4, walk around the city whole day without feeling tired.
MattxMatt Hey - I was wondering, can you record videos on the gm1 with the flash on? I have one myself but the flash doesn’t seem to turn on when I start to video? Thanks
I hate heavy bulky cameras and I’ve never seen the point to them. Digital cameras are small and lightweight, to be carried anywhere, The photos looked good! Pocketable cameras give the most bang for the buck. My only cameras are point and shoot and I’ve no intention of expanding to more complicated equipment.
Nice review Markus. Big things DO come in little packages. Have you explored the castles? My dream job would be to explore, and photograph, old architecture. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Bravo, refreshing outlook. Currently doing the same myself with Olympus e-pm1 and kit lens only 12mp but prints great at 12x8 and so much fun, much lighter than canon full frame bag. Keep up the great work.
I have the GM 1 with the 15 and 45 for allways on. It is rediculous, how small but good this thing is. Maybe some day I upgrade to the GM5, but like you said, they are still very expensive.
As time goes on and this technology moves so quickly. Brilliant little cameras like these are long forgotten. Thanks to these guys, it just goes to show that older does not mean crap. I am a shit photographer tbh. Have a GM1 and a Pentax K-50 in bright red that is a three man job to carry around. Tomato red too but a pretty decent, if quirky camera.
Great video. I picked up an lx100 a few years ago. While it is not ilc, I find it a great travel camera. Very versatile! Will have to check out theses when time to move up.
Excellent reviews and like you I find it very hard to part with the GX1. However with an optical viewfinder in the region of £100 that could be put towards a GX7 which are now affordable.
Grate vid. Im still buying camera looking for 1 i can just take with me every day. I realy like m4/3 i have 2 looking to get a few more with in the next year
Hi Markus, I want to tell you that I love your channel. You are very positive and you stick out from the others. Because of your good reviews, I bought a used GX850 in new condition for 219€ and a Olympus 45mm 1.8 for 180€. I am absolutely excited about the quality it delivers in such a tiny package and for 400€ combined. I spent thousand on photography equipment and this is by far the best bang per buck. If I had known that before.. could have saved a lot of money. I'd say that it would be sufficent to shoot weddings, if it had a hotshoe. The size is perfect and so much less intimidating to the subjects. I always loved panasonic for the good usability and menues but ignored the brand after moving from the FZ1000 to more serious equipment (canon dslrs, Fuji). I am happy to be home again with the little gx850.
@MarkusPix Is GM1 and GM5 compatible with all MFT lenses? Even newest Olympus/Panasonics? Like 100-300 MkII? Panasonic homepage is kinda dubious source :(.
Should try the Fuji X100v and many other Fuji interchangeable models such as the xe3 paired with the 35mm f1.4 will give u really soft blurry background., there is a lot out there then just lumix and Sony.
I gave my Panasonic GM1 to my daughter for her travels. One thing that always impressed me about it was the video quality. The 1080p coming off of this little camera is great!
Great video - I love those tiny little cameras. The images you captured were excellent. What is your take on the Pentax Q series? I've been having a lot of fun with them.
I like the Sony RX10 MK III for travel. Nothing beats the lens... 24-600mm optical and great quality. UHD video recording with hi fi audio if using external microphone.

Hi Markus, just ordered the gx850 camera after seeing one of your you tube posts. Looking for a recommendation for an sd card for speed and capacity. Enjoying your you tube channel. Thanks. Jim Palazzolo
I just saw a Camera that is super small that is mounted to your phone. It's called Olympus air A01 it looks so cool and it has ... Wait for it wait for it . Interchangeable lenses
Hi i want to buy lumix gx850 along with olympus f1.8 lens, since both camera n lens doesn't have image stabilization would it be good choice. I would also like to shoot in dim lighting conditions like in streets.
Markus, I've watched your health and wellness videos for years and have greatly enjoyed them. I was pleasantly surprised to see you doing this camera review. Thanks! I'm wondering if the Panasonic 15mm's aperture ring works on the GX1. I saw you had it mounted to it.
I bought an orange GM1 for my wife and replaced it with silver GF7 and orange GX800. The latter one supports "NTSC" frame rates in mp4 mode, so it was not a problem for me. I have never really missed GM1, because both GF7 and GX800 were good enough substitutions for me, being nearly as small, adding flip-out monitor and removal of AA filter on the sensor, and addition of DFD autofocus. These small cameras are indeed marvels of technology and useability, especially when served as a second and backup body. My GF7 took great pics of hummingbirds in Costa Rica, saved the day and vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia, when my GX85 was dropped and stopped working, and GX800 was a remarkable tool in hands of my wife in Puerto Rico, when she took great pics of pelicans-in-flight (!) at Playa Tamarindo east of Guanica. Pair those tiny bodies with such mighty plastic fantastics as tiny 12-32mm and 35-100mm collapsibles and you are set to go to take great pics!
For my needs ie mountaineering and wild camping I've yet to find a better camera body than the gm5. Come on Panasonic, make a mk2 and please change the mode dial and focus mode dials to user defined wheels, then you'd have the best small camera ever made
Just chanced across this. Super. I still travel with two GM5, and three primes, and they fit into a tiny pouch. You should get a Rokinon fisheye. Mine happens to be sharp corner to corner wide open at f3.5. I shoot down to 1/20 and it is tack sharp hand held with good breath control. It's too bad that they never updated it. My other two travel prime are the 15mm f1.7, and 42.5mm f 1.7 with image stabilization. Of course, at home, I even put that large 42.5mm f1.2 among other primes that I have. It remains a credible tool.
Wow , they were brilliant cameras , I love my Panasonic's, I've got the fz82 bridge camera with 60x zoom , it's a great camera to put in my handbag lol , but I would like a smaller one , & from what ive seen on utube , mirrorless cameras are the way to go now .
Your emotional, practical, hands on reviews are what the photography side of UA-cam needed. Thank God you're not stuffy/ego-driven like a certain FroKnowsPhotos...lol.
@@MarkusPix wrong, they have less features then the Q, Q has features of biggest and greatest cams, much better handling and more possibilities in a small case. I have Pentax Q and I also have GM1, I love the pictures GM1 makes, but hate how to operate it, it is very complicated, it also lacks of auto ISO in manual a/t mode, has no IBIS and so one and so one, but IT IS NOT THE POINT, the smallest is Pentax Q.
The Pentax Q is actually only 1 mm shorter, has a MUCH smaller sensor - actually 8 TIMES smaller! 4.5mm x 6.17mm vs the Panasonic 13mm x 17.3mm (less resolution (12MP vs 16MP) & less soft bokeh background) the GM1/GM5 has over 500% more pixel area, The PQ ISO only goes to 6400 vs 25,600 on the Panasonics, only 2 fps continuous shooting vs 6, no viewfinder, no touch screen like the Panasonic, no wireless, no face detection like the Panasonic, very low rez LCD (460 vs 921), no time lapse. Definitely cannot get the same resolution and quality, but to each his own. Glad you love your Q. Enjoy it in peace.
Small cameras are great! I am an a5100 user ... I have one that lives on a gimbal, and another to carry. It's missing the features of some of the other Sony's a6*** series, but its size, flip-up screen and touch to focus make it a winner for me. I think that the size of a camera is inversely proportional to the amount of photos and video you shoot. That's why I love my small cameras. Great video, I enjoyed seeing the cameras and your shots ... thanks!
Looking forward to your post-processing video, where you share your lightroom/photoshop techniques. Your photos are simply stunning, and I'm sure you've got a trick or two to share there as well :)
I'm beginning to regret selling my little GM5. Bought a GX880 to sort of replace it. I't not as nice as the GM5 but the image quality is immense, practically on a par with the Lumix G9 :)
I think that's the European version of the GX850, and yes I agree, the image quality of the GX850 / 880 is amazing, I have three of them! The only thing missing is an EVF, which is why I still use the GM5 sometimes when I want really small.
You rock! Great selection of cameras. You can never go wrong with Panasonic quality and technology. One of the world technology leaders. Must have been a fantastic vacation. Love Europe.
Shine on.
What a breath of fresh air - your passion comes through- Exceptional video ... top notch. You both are Model Quality... very neat and cool couple ... I am a Fan. Can’t wait for the next vid
thank you Mario
It's a real tragedy that Panasonic never replaced the GM5
Love the GM5. I got a GM1 but when the GM5 came out with a viewfinder, I had to have it.
Yes !
Thanks
Even looking at the gx9 today i note it doesn't have auto iso in manual mode like the gm5 does. And I shoot in that mode most of the time. Fingers crossed my gm5 never dies then i guess
And that thumb wheel makes all the difference, the gm1 was very screen centred which wasn't much use in bright sunshine. We just sold our gm1 and bought a second gm5 instead. I've got a gx9 but for walking / climbing it's a gm5 I reach for
Super great quality out of these little cameras Markus. Currently i am saving for the Canon Eos R. If all goes well i can get it towards the end of the year. Safe Travels and love your channel.
Long live the canon cripple hammer
I am already invested in micro 4/3 and really wanted to know the difference between all the littlest camera bodies I could put an extra lens onto and this video was perfect for that!
Hahahaha, more manufacturers should make stylish colorful cameras!
which one is the best for vloggers please??
Rent a Sony RX10M4 Camera to see if you like it as it gives really good bokeh.
It's the most professional all-in-one portable camera system.
I own one.
Sony's eye focus: Am I a joke to you?
If Sony can make an ILC camera this small, I'll get it
hi markus ! do you know if this gm1 camera has a clean hdmi output!? i thinks this would be amazing for live streaming
No the HDMI is just for reviewing images and video on a TV or computer like a slide show
@@MarkusPix thanks markus. With hdmi this camera would be a killer for streaming!

Pretty refreshing to see these older micro four thirds cameras being demo'ed and used. Great walkthrough and awesome photos!
Thanks for the presentation. You just showed why the different "reviewers" paid by Canon, Nikon or Sony want to "kill" the MFT so much.

So great to hear you talk about photography with passion rather than pixel peeping. So many other channels talk about what you can't do with equipment, you focus on what the small cameras can do. Thank you!

ever since I started watching your vides I've been considering the GX850 i think it would pair great with the 25mm 1.7
Sounds good.

Not exactly pocket friendly

interesting that you decided to bring several small cameras rather than one large camera.

No Nikon J series cameras?

yes but not this small
Olympus PEN series!!! it is still made.. nice small M43 and I love it
please tell me how we can change language in lumix gf9 japanese to english
I have a lumix gf5 , it takes great shots. I also have a Panasonic gx7 . Two great cameras.
Super Super cool!
Great video! Thanks for the video, I have been wanting to get one of these small guys, for a while now.
No hotshoe? Just drag the shutter and pop The Flash not that hard
Dude!! I Love your videos, very informative!!!! Thank you
I gave my Panasonic GM1 to my daughter for her travels. One thing that always impressed me about it was the video quality. The 1080p coming off of this little camera is great!
I know it amazed me too
Really like the practical, real world, no nonsense, no time wasted approach.
Great video - I love those tiny little cameras. The images you captured were excellent. What is your take on the Pentax Q series? I've been having a lot of fun with them.
It's good
Excellent video! Thanks for the information.
Sir...witch is the nicest camera 📸 for travel vloger purpose... please give me answer... beacuse you are my ideol person ❤️🙏
Amazing information and content Markus
3:40
something about that pic is really done well
idk what it is
I miss my GM1 😥. It was an awesome camera.
Thanks for nice photos. Its cool man
I like the Sony RX10 MK III for travel. Nothing beats the lens... 24-600mm optical and great quality. UHD video recording with hi fi audio if using external microphone.
Tiny cameras, but just check those used prices! $400-$500 for a M43! That might just be what Jeff Bezos shoots with.
There's a reason they are still so expensive! They are great tiny cameras that take great pictures and video
Why does anyone care about Bezos. That dude there's not one penny worth of charity
Why not cover some of the micro 4/3 cameras that are much cheaper, you know the ones the rest of us use?

My EPL5 and 45mm 1.8 are go to for stealth portraiture in grainy film simulation at ISO 12800.... The kit delivers!
Great Video Markus. What are your thoughts on the Sony RX1?
I talk about it here ua-cam.com/video/DOaombFsFTg/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/aUbYeOOzExs/v-deo.html
Hi Markus, just ordered the gx850 camera after seeing one of your you tube posts. Looking for a recommendation for an sd card for speed and capacity. Enjoying your you tube channel. Thanks. Jim Palazzolo
Is this filmed in Linz?
Great content! Can you please post a link to that viewfinder thingy for the LCD? I found some that are quite costly. Thanks
I just saw a Camera that is super small that is mounted to your phone. It's called Olympus air A01 it looks so cool and it has ... Wait for it wait for it . Interchangeable lenses
Hi i want to buy lumix gx850 along with olympus f1.8 lens, since both camera n lens doesn't have image stabilization would it be good choice. I would also like to shoot in dim lighting conditions like in streets.
Markus, I've watched your health and wellness videos for years and have greatly enjoyed them. I was pleasantly surprised to see you doing this camera review. Thanks! I'm wondering if the Panasonic 15mm's aperture ring works on the GX1. I saw you had it mounted to it.
I bought an orange GM1 for my wife and replaced it with silver GF7 and orange GX800. The latter one supports "NTSC" frame rates in mp4 mode, so it was not a problem for me. I have never really missed GM1, because both GF7 and GX800 were good enough substitutions for me, being nearly as small, adding flip-out monitor and removal of AA filter on the sensor, and addition of DFD autofocus. These small cameras are indeed marvels of technology and useability, especially when served as a second and backup body. My GF7 took great pics of hummingbirds in Costa Rica, saved the day and vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia, when my GX85 was dropped and stopped working, and GX800 was a remarkable tool in hands of my wife in Puerto Rico, when she took great pics of pelicans-in-flight (!) at Playa Tamarindo east of Guanica. Pair those tiny bodies with such mighty plastic fantastics as tiny 12-32mm and 35-100mm collapsibles and you are set to go to take great pics!
For my needs ie mountaineering and wild camping I've yet to find a better camera body than the gm5. Come on Panasonic, make a mk2 and please change the mode dial and focus mode dials to user defined wheels, then you'd have the best small camera ever made
Just chanced across this. Super. I still travel with two GM5, and three primes, and they fit into a tiny pouch. You should get a Rokinon fisheye. Mine happens to be sharp corner to corner wide open at f3.5. I shoot down to 1/20 and it is tack sharp hand held with good breath control. It's too bad that they never updated it. My other two travel prime are the 15mm f1.7, and 42.5mm f 1.7 with image stabilization. Of course, at home, I even put that large 42.5mm f1.2 among other primes that I have. It remains a credible tool.
Very cute cameras and because of your videos I bought a second hand MFT camera. It's good and compact but is not that compact.
Wow , they were brilliant cameras , I love my Panasonic's, I've got the fz82 bridge camera with 60x zoom , it's a great camera to put in my handbag lol , but I would like a smaller one , & from what ive seen on utube , mirrorless cameras are the way to go now .
Are you going to review the new FujiFilm GFX 100?
I'm going smaller, not bigger. Full frame is already overkill as it is. Medium format is just showing off lol
Your emotional, practical, hands on reviews are what the photography side of UA-cam needed. Thank God you're not stuffy/ego-driven like a certain FroKnowsPhotos...lol.
Great to see this sort of video looking at different camera that people might not think of and some at a great price.
The Olympus E-PM2 is super small no ibis but it has software image stabilization.
Actually Pentax Q ist the smallest
not with this quality, sensor size and all the features these ones have
@@MarkusPix well then say that. In your video you keep saying it's the world's smallest camera with interchangeable lenses. That's just simply wrong.
@@MarkusPix wrong, they have less features then the Q, Q has features of biggest and greatest cams, much better handling and more possibilities in a small case. I have Pentax Q and I also have GM1, I love the pictures GM1 makes, but hate how to operate it, it is very complicated, it also lacks of auto ISO in manual a/t mode, has no IBIS and so one and so one, but IT IS NOT THE POINT, the smallest is Pentax Q.
Pentax-Q has a super-Q lens mount, and the thing is about MFT. In addition, Minox DCC 14.0 is even smaller.
The Pentax Q is actually only 1 mm shorter, has a MUCH smaller sensor - actually 8 TIMES smaller! 4.5mm x 6.17mm vs the Panasonic 13mm x 17.3mm (less resolution (12MP vs 16MP) & less soft bokeh background) the GM1/GM5 has over 500% more pixel area, The PQ ISO only goes to 6400 vs 25,600 on the Panasonics, only 2 fps continuous shooting vs 6, no viewfinder, no touch screen like the Panasonic, no wireless, no face detection like the Panasonic, very low rez LCD (460 vs 921), no time lapse. Definitely cannot get the same resolution and quality, but to each his own. Glad you love your Q. Enjoy it in peace.
Eeeeee!!!😍😍😍
This is what youtube is all about ......Great channel
Thank you :-)
You are taking all those small camera in vacation because you don't want to carry a big camera 👍👍👍
Want to compare them in action in a real world scenario. I only take one out at a time, not all of them
@@MarkusPix man, i was just kidding. You do great job, i have full respect for your work👍👍👍
Cheers mate godsend I hunt and photograph but cant with dlsr to much weight to do both know its not
Small cameras are great! I am an a5100 user ... I have one that lives on a gimbal, and another to carry. It's missing the features of some of the other Sony's a6*** series, but its size, flip-up screen and touch to focus make it a winner for me. I think that the size of a camera is inversely proportional to the amount of photos and video you shoot. That's why I love my small cameras. Great video, I enjoyed seeing the cameras and your shots ... thanks!
Yes I love my 5100 also
8:22 Wellcome to Budapest! I hope you like it here! Best regards from Hungary!
With the Gx85 you get the best of each camera. I own one and I can’t be more happier
Panasonic
Do you know how to get out of eshtr and into mshtr? I´m mostly using P or A mode.
It seems you like Panasonic Lumix m4/3 system very much!
Looking forward to your post-processing video, where you share your lightroom/photoshop techniques. Your photos are simply stunning, and I'm sure you've got a trick or two to share there as well :)
I'm beginning to regret selling my little GM5. Bought a GX880 to sort of replace it. I't not as nice as the GM5 but the image quality is immense, practically on a par with the Lumix G9 :)
I think that's the European version of the GX850, and yes I agree, the image quality of the GX850 / 880 is amazing, I have three of them! The only thing missing is an EVF, which is why I still use the GM5 sometimes when I want really small.
I’m a fan
