For those who don't care about the metal build of the GM1, you can find a GF7 / GF8 for much cheaper. It has exactly the same specs and end up being less than 200$ with the lens.

Absolutely. With an Iphone you can definitely take better pictures than this and it's always in your pocket. Otherwise you could also opt for an old digicam which is way cheaper and also produces better images.
True. If you want a good pocket fitting camera get Ricoh GR3 or FujiX100. Even if they are bit bigger, they fit into pocket and take excellent pictures.
@@LifteroBeatsI'd say there are two smartphones that would run it extremely close. The Samsung S24 Ultra and Honor Magic 6 Pro. Tried both before getting the Samsung and they both floored me.
@@Backpfeifengesicht45 not even close, lets be real here, you can just look at the sensor difference and the phone is not focused just on taking photos, it does everything else, while a camera is only focus on one thing.

@@Dark42ntyNot gonna use my phone for real photography. For one thing I don't want the thing dying on me while I doing street photography around the world. And the image quality will never match this.
Try the fuji x70, 18.5mm f2.8 lens and pocketable, even though it's a fixed lens, it has apsc sensor, like a smaller x100 series camera without viewfinder
I've been considering getting a compact camera lately and what I've found in a month of research and model hunting is that this would be a great solution for traveling if there were compact zoom lenses like on those compact cameras. The edge those cameras have is a fixed lens that can hide inside the body instead of having to deal with a whole interchangeable mount system and keep its bulk on itself. The smallest I've found so far with an acceptable range is the Sony 16-50mm for apsc bodies, paired with something like a Nex 3N or 5N for that pocket size. Bigger sensor and optical stabilization on the lens. Otherwise you'll have to go for a fixed focal length like on here which I personally don't find particularly appealing, especially with lower resolution sensors that don't have that much room for cropping in. Other than that, this is absolutely the smallest interchangeable setup I've ever seen.
For the most part, all photos were in good lighting, he took no video either. I wonder where it's better than a smartphone. Maybe if you live somewhere in perpetual darkness, like Norway in the winter.
@@dariusdareme phones use too much digital processing, even old family Sony cameras capture photos better than modern smart phones because of over sharpness.
Maybe, I don't know how soft that lens is. But you can pay less for another M43 camera of that era (The GM series is a bit pricier than most of them) and a used lens like a Panasonic 20mm f/1.7, still almost as pocketable as the setup in the video but with better Image Quality and with the possibility of shallower depth of field (not like full frame, but much much more than a smartphone)
Unless you're a professional photographer and actually configure your camera settings optimally for each shot, there's a very, very good chance that any flagship smartphone from the last four years will best the image quality you get from a dedicated digital camera. Phone camera sensors have grown increasingly capable and the image processing behind them is very mature these days and more than capable of removing the grain that using such a tiny sensor usually comes with. Plus, the software and image processing hardware in modern smartphones are very good at determining optimal settings for most conventional photos. The reason why high end dedicated digital cameras still exist is predominantly for professional media production where you need to be able to take photos that can be blown up to poster print sizes or larger without an obvious drop in image quality. Smartphone cameras are thoroughly impressive, but the largest I'd want to blow up an image shot on a phone camera is about A1. Even then, you'll probably be able to see some flaws in the shot. However, dedicated digital cameras often only include a "point-and-shoot" automatic feature because it is expected of them, so the quality of that feature is often much worse than the one included on smartphones, since smartphone cameras are used primarily with this mode in mind. The vast majority of people using a smartphone have little understanding of what the camera settings are or how they work, so the basic camera mode, or the "point-and-shoot" mode is heavily prioritized by developers and engineers.
an apsc or full frame camera looks better than a phone at any size, most of the time its easy to tell, even on just social media. color rendition and detail u get is just not even close, especially in low light, full frame absolutely destroyed even the best modern phone camera. And the ability to change ur lens is by far the most inportant reason pro use "high end cameras", many pros don't even print there photos very large either. but a phone is def better than ur average point and shoot. @@mndlessdrwer
meh, phones from the last few years are too full of AI processing garbage these days. phone photos look over-sharpened, over-saturated, too much contrast by default.... camera photos look real by default @@mndlessdrwer
Years ago I took an Olympus camera and Zuiko pancake lens on vacation. The pictures weren't the sharpest I've ever taken, but the fun level was off the charts. I was very happy with the pictures.
my gm5 and 25mm f1.8 fit into my jacket pocket easy. Throw the 9mm f1.7 in the other pocket, and the 42.5mm f1.7 in the breast pocket. Batteries in the pants pockets. 3 prime lens kit that fits entirely in my pockets with no bag. Cute lense he is playing with though
there's a couple zoom lenses that retract when they're off (motorized) that aren't much larger, but more importantly, there are a few primes for that form factor that are barely thicker than that pancake that can produce some legitimately nice shots. it's such a cool little platform
nah bro. If you've ever used a mirrorless camera, you would know. Sure the new Galaxy S23 Ultra can take 200MP images but still it loses to any camera even with 16 MP sensors
I love it. Such a camera will never be hugely popular in the US because the Americans have already strategically “destroyed” micro 4/3 in their self-created “sensor war” glamorised in their own social media. The bigger (as in American engines and guns)…the better. In the end, Micro 4/3 has been tactically “put down” and regarded as obsolete and not worthy of much excitement. In reality, its totally different and Micro4/3 is really the max that most enthusiasts need.
Since your videos started popping up in my feed I’ve been blown away by the number of cameras you review so I’m hoping you can give me insight. I’m looking for a used micro four thirds camera (to maximize effective zoom range and limit size and cost) for birds and wildlife. My budget for the used body is $600. I’d value your opinion on what body and lens combo you would choose and why (your answer does not need to be restricted to micro four thirds sensors). Thank you!
but you don't get the shallow depth of field or better dynamic range. you can easily still tell what was taken with a smartphone vs a discreet mirrorless like this
@@chickenpasta7359a M4/3 with f6.3 lens also won't get you shallow depth of field. You're better off using a modern smartphone with computational portrait mode. Even the generic camera lens without portrait mode would give you shallower depth of field than this kit. I had a GM1 and the extra dynamic range wasnt worth it, such a noisy sensor, even in moderate light.
I have modern smartphone and a camera from 2014. Smartphone photos seems ok until you see them next to those taken by the camera. And I mean if you view them on anything bigger than 6" screen.
the picture ain't better or probably worse looking than most good phone camera right now, slapping such a tiny aperture lens makes the picture looks really flat negating the advantage of bigger sensor, which makes it no different to phone camera
Thats a pretty neat little gadget! I will say though, for a little less, you can buy a refurbished canon t7 efs with an 18/55mm lense. Definitely not as compact, but has better stats all around. Either way, get to snapping, yall!
Slight exaggeration on the softness, but you're right, it's not the most optically perfect lens. But that's the compromise you have to make if you want something this small and lightweight. The 35mm is probably sharper, but it's also over double the price of this 18mm, much larger and heavier (albeit, I wouldn't consider it a heavy lens). Both are equally valid in their own right, they just offer different things. 😊
Gear people are so funny. "Just use the Fabbo MH300z with a Sharpitron X90 lens, it's low res and the glass is actually plastic, but the bad photos are really cool looking, like Snapchat!"
I still have mine i got for about 150-200usd in ebay many years ago. Is so small that sometimes i carry it along with a E-m1 so i don’t have to swap lenses.

Now another option in todays market for something similar that has a high quality low aperture zoom lens built in? Pana lx100. Around the same size but with a Leica zoom lens attached. It has a four thirds sensor and everything.

Now another option in todays market for something similar that has a high quality low aperture zoom lens built in? Pana lx100. Around the same size but with a Leica zoom lens attached. It has a four thirds sensor and everything.
Have you heard of a cellphone?
The Lumix 14mm f/2.5 would have likely been a better lens: you gaon AF and a much faster aperture flr like $50 more.
Would not pay 50 dollars for it.
GM5 is pretty much the same tiny size but has an EVF, thats the real killer
You forgot you can use phone to take pictures
What about fixed lens cameras? I use Xt2 and want something smaller but not for professional use, just to accompany me. I was thinking Canon G series, especially G12 G11 maybe G9, I even found new yet first version of G5X Mark I. Is there anyone here uses these cameras or knowledge?
