Love the fact that you and some other YouTubers are revisiting older, smaller, and lower resolution cameras. I'm trying to break my GAS camera issue but have said for many years that most cameras from 2010 (and some earlier) take fantastic pictures. I recently drove down to see a total eclipse of the sun in southern Illinois and sadly just brought my cell phone. How I wished that I had any camera that had manual focus! (my bad). BTW, you have a great "camera cave."

Wow! Such mesmerizing visuals and a captivating storyline. Truly impressive work! 🌟
-
Appreciate the run down. Had pen & pad in hand. Thank you Bob.
-
I agree that the GX80 (GX85 in the U.S.) is a great camera. I use mine with the Pan/Leica 15mm f1.7 lens and get some wonderful photos. It's the camera I take with me everywhere. Btw, it has way more features than you described. Also, unlike the sensor in the GM1, the GX80's Optical Low Pass Filter is removed for better resolution.
-
Really great review. Thanks for that. One of my favourites was the Panasonic LX3. Fixed lens, small sensor but amazing images and it shoots raw.
-
Love my a6000 with adapted vintage lenses. Thank you for the video.
-
Thanks Bob. is a fantastic video. pls continue c:

Lovely video. All the cameras I have, Sony, Nikon, Canon, APS-C. M4/3 and full frame, my favourite 'go to' walkabout camera is the Olympus XZ-1. Slow - yes- touch screen - no. But the pictures, for it's size outweighs the negatives. A little gem.
-
Thanks Bob…some great choices! I have the Rx100vii and often my camera of choice (btw the V would be a nice choice too- a bit faster lens, but not quite as long). Very tempted by the g80/85 though.
-
Fantastic Info, thank you. Subbed.
-
Thank you for featuring the G100. As a GM5 owner (which I am using as an EDC camera) I view the G100 as the GM5 successor. For street photography I have a GX9.
-
Trust me guys, they can be found at a good price on the marketplace and get the Sony RX 100 from version 5 and up with your eyes closed. I have version 6 and it's amazing!!! The one for street photography is smaller than the Ricoh so in people's eyes you look like a classic tourist with a $2 camera!! So people don't care about your presence, letting you approach and take photos undisturbed!! While they don't know that you have a little gem in your hands that produces images of impressive quality!!

The Olympus is such a great little camera👍🏻
-
Great review. I have the RX100M6 and a6000. Agree with everything you said except having had both, would much rather have the flip out screen. You can't put the camera low and take a portrait shot with a screen that only flips up and down. Plus the flip out protects itself by being folded in. And you can sneak a candid shot easier sideways when being watched.
-
Thanks for an interesting video. Not mentioned, but a favourite of mine, is the Nikon 1 range of cameras.
-
Xz-2 is an awesome pick! That is my daily camera. I keep it in a pouch In my pocket every day. Also shoot with the gx9 and love that camera for more serious "work"

My fave street shooter was a Leica D Lux 3 - but I stepped n it. My beloved Sony a6000 was pulled off a table at Xmas. The body was bunged up. When I first bought it - I bought a 16mm as my standard street lens. I own a G100 but hardly use it. My LX-10 can be used as a B camera with if shooting video.

RX100 III is a beast 💪
-
I use M4/3 a lot - including some old Olympus Pen cameras like the E-PL 1, but the E-M5 iii has become my favorite for things, where people depend on my photos. I own the Sony RX100 iii, but I'm not loving it. I do like Sony gear a lot being a bit of a Minolta fan. My favorite mirrorless Sony cameras include the NEX 5n and A5100 - both very compact cameras with an APS-C sized sensor and a nice lens selection - and second hand hand of course, so they didn't set me back much.
