    A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

    Today, the camera is obsolete, there are many other worthy cameras for this price tag with the presence of a log, I personally have it as a second and as a reportage, after BMPC I can’t take it to shoot some artistic and staged scenes, BUT! The camera can go to people who are fond of cinema, for shooting some short films or even a full meter, the picture is cinematic and with straight hands, you can pull out a good result.

    Pros
    • - Best 5 axis stabilizer - Compactness - Swivel screen - Good 4k - Build quality - Convenient menu - Built-in time lapse, stop motion, HDR - Shooting in 1080p 50 fps - The battery, many people write that the batteries do not last long, which I disagree with, one battery holds two hours of continuous shooting in 4k with the stub turned on and this is a huge plus - Ergonomics! Very comfortable to hold in hand, unlike the Sonek 6000 series
    Cons
    • - A very noisy matrix, even at the lowest values ​​there is noise, the maximum working ISO is 800, I would attribute this to the features of the camera if there were no artifacts in dark areas. - Very poor autofocus, it’s definitely not suitable for those who like to focus on the machine, it searches for an object for a very long time and constantly smears, focus only with handles! - Cannot be set below 200 iso - The whale lens is just like a plug, in daylight on the street you can use it as a reportage, indoors in artificial light or in the dark on the street the picture is terrible, worse than on the phone . - There is no way to connect regular headphones for sound monitoring, although this model is positioned primarily as a video camera

    The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

    In fact, if you do not have enough money for it, you can safely take the G7, because there is not much difference. It's just that the G80 is a little raised in terms of functionality and other things. Here G7 can be recommended to a beginner. Firstly, because it is not expensive. Second, the G7 will prepare you for more advanced cameras in this price range. I took pictures on the G80, took pictures of friends, in principle, very well. Even very good) But still, it seems to me that this camera…

    Pros
    • Light weight, built-in image stabilizer, of course, the price, for that kind of money you will not find a single camera stuffed with such a range of functions. The camera is clearly not for a beginner who has never held a camera in his hands. Many features, a convenient menu and light weight make this camera one of the leading places among budget mirrorless cameras.
    Cons
    • Lens price. Lenses cost just space money. In principle, for the first time, a whale lens is enough for you, but if you want more, prepare a tidy sum for your new optics. It's easy to get confused in the menu (for a beginner) for people who already had a camera from the Lumix G line will be much easier.

    The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

    It is generally difficult for me to talk about this camera, since I am buying such a product for the first time. I don't know how to shoot videos either, but I'm just learning. I don’t understand a lot of things, and I still understand the settings and values. Nevertheless, having used the camera a little, I can say that the image quality is very good. Photos super! But I'm more interested in video. So fulhd is excellent here. 4k no words. The quality is very cool. Stabilization is very…

    Pros
    • shooting quality stabilization built-in microphone is not bad enough
    Cons
    • I can not say

    Great product, a pleasure to use.

    In general, very satisfied. I took it for shooting concerts - the device fully met expectations. In the test, I shot a little more than 2 hours of video without pauses. On 1 battery, no switching, no overheating! I took it online with a gift fix 25 (50 equivalent) f1.7 - it turned out to be quite a decent lens! Pros: Unlimited continuous video shooting time. The matrix is ​​not heated. Quite a capacious battery. Decent quality photos and videos. Got cons: The menu is a little confusing…

    I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

    Has pros: liked the quality of the video. In full hd, shooting is normally only in very good lighting, but still in 4K the quality is much better. And it's not about the resolution and just the picture as a whole is worse. In poor lighting at high ISOs, the picture is not suitable at all - worse than from a phone . Even with a 1.6 aperture lens, you can’t shoot with low illumination. It's a video camera! As a camera, my 10 year old canon 560ti takes better pictures! With very good illumination,

    A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

    According to my feelings, it takes much longer to get used to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 than to the camera models that I had before this one - Sony Alpha ILCE-6300 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. However, judging by the results that I see on the Web from operators who have already mastered the G80 to the end, it's worth it. Has some pros + Image stabilization is better than competing models from Sony and predecessor models from the same Panasonic; + The relatively large size of the camera…

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

    It is worth taking for video in 4k if you need to write large volumes without interruption. For such tasks, I think there is still no competitor for this money (with interchangeable optics). It is quite possible to take pictures if you do not need high resolution. It is easy to order external power supply, additional batteries and other accessories from China.

    Pros
    • Ergonomics on top, the correct location of the buttons. Compact size, light weight, which is important when shooting with a gimbal / stadycam. An excellent swivel screen, the viewfinder is also good, it helps a lot when shooting on a sunny day. Flexibility of settings. Continuous video recording, limited only by the size of the flash drive / battery charge, regardless of the format, I have never managed to overheat the device in 4K, I shot for 4 hours without a break, which is very worthy. Good built-in matrix stabilization, especially true with inexpensive manual lenses without a stub. The time-lapse mode is ideal, given the electronic shutter and the ability to auto-shutdown the camera if the breaks between frames are long enough (but nevertheless I advise external power for long TL). You can write to large flash drives (as far as I know, 512 GB flash drives are supported, and maybe more capacious ones). Excellent adjustable dynamic range.
    Cons
    • Insufficient bitrate in FHD when shooting video (in 4K 100 megabits is ok). Weak in-camera JPG (but RAW stretches well). Weak resolution for photos, of course it's more of a video camera. The contrast autofocus is weak, although in normal light and in FHD mode it works well for the face / eyes.

    The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

    A great all-round camera that feels good to hold in your hands and makes you want to carry it with you everywhere. I realized that the cameras of the micro4/3 system are not toys, but professional tools that are not inferior to large DSLRs in most cases. I would not undertake to shoot a wedding on the G80 and whale 12-60, but let's be honest, shooting a wedding on any entry-level crop and zoom is a bad idea. But on the G80 and some light zoom 12-35 - already quite. Matrix stabilization at…

    Pros
    • Ergonomics, versatility, excellent video and photo quality, matrix stabilization, compactness
    Cons
    • If you wish, you can find fault with autofocus when shooting video. Although in reality everything is much better than they write on the Internet, autofocus is working, but you need to adapt to the logic of its work

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    The quality is so-so, the price does not match the quality.

    In general, conflicting impressions of the camera. The picture in the video gives a good one, but the autofocus really spoils everything. Because of this, the camera is not suitable for everyone, it’s quite possible to shoot a blogger’s face from a tripod with good light. I took it for other tasks and was disappointed. I advise you to look at other cameras for this money. Maybe without a matrix stub, but with adequate AF. The review is subjective, from a person who expected to get better work…

    Pros
    • Convenient control, functional buttons where necessary, and the grip is good. Light weight. Relatively inexpensive lenses. A good picture both when shooting video in 4k in certain scenes, and when taking photos with good lighting. Quite good shots can be obtained in poor hand-held lighting (with a 1.7 Lumix lens), on a whale one you can get a good picture in daylight, but nothing more than natural. That's where the positives end.
    Cons
    • 1. Autofocus, it is disgusting, I read a lot of real reviews where they complained about it, but I did not expect everything to be so bad. In reviews on the Internet, this moment is not particularly discussed at all. I filmed and photographed on a whale 12-60mm and 1.7 25mm. There are always problems with this, except that in bright street lighting there are fewer misses. 2. Dual stabilization, but it works well in video with a whale lens, but I expected a better result, the latest top-end smartphones provide stabilization no worse when moving. In general, if you need smoothness in the video, you need a stub. 3. The camera really needs light, there was no miracle, given the size of the matrix.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

    Micro 4/3, both plus and minus. On the one hand, lightness and compactness, on the other hand, noise at high ISO. I solved it with Chinese constant light from aliexpress. In short, this camera is suitable for everything, and weddings, and lifestyle videos, and clips, and travel, in general, a little monster!) Advice for videographers. Don't waste time like me! Buy the carcass separately and immediately buy a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens with a Canon EF mount and an adapter for it…

    Pros
    • Super! Lightweight, very compact, cheap and small lenses. Ideal for video shooting. Yes, and the photos turn out with a bang))) The purchase is 100% satisfied. Autofocus is fast and accurate. Touch screen, stabilization is simply gorgeous. This is gh5's little brother! For shooting video, for shooting vlogs, perfect!
    Cons
    • Noise starts at 1600, but the noise is easily removed. Noticeable noise at 3200, cleaning helps, but not without a trace. It makes a lot of noise at 6400, you can shoot but only for instagram and my telephone networks, the noise is decent

    Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

    A very successful model for traveling and shooting video, compact enough not to strain with its weight and dimensions in a backpack, while not at the expense of ergonomics and functionality, for my money, probably the most suitable option for shooting video, a camera from the category of "bought and went to shoot" An interesting feature with ISO, I compared it with the D5200 - the picture looks cleaner on the screen in Panasonic with similar values, there will be time - I will compare it…

    Pros
    • Compactness and weight, convenience, reliability, quality of materials and assembly, image quality and stabilization (both with compatible lenses with a stub and with ordinary ones), video quality, a bunch of goodies like 4k photos, which seem to be not really needed, but still work competently, it keeps well in the heat, in the desert and in the rain, the battery holds for a long time (which surprised me very much considering their capacity), two branded ones are enough for a day of shooting, the screen is comfortable and bright, the colors do not lie, a lot of buttons with the ability to customize, ergonomics are generally on top, the whale lens is surprisingly not as bad as it was originally expected
    Cons
    • The menu is slightly confusing due to illogical abbreviations in the 2022 version, everything looks more fun in the English version The minimum ISO on the video is 200, until I figured out if there is a way to make 100, sometimes it’s just not enough Autofocus on video sometimes likes to scour, but you can cope with this and live in peace

    The perfect product for any user!

    Perhaps the most balanced option at the moment: - very good photos with beautiful colors, in normal light or bright optics; - wonderful 4K video especially in AVCHD; - Super stabilization system, really working; - A lot of all sorts of functions, and the most necessary and useful ones are chosen, without surpluses that few people use. At the same time, the price is just super for such a set. Approximately the same set in Olik OMD M1-MII costs twice as much, although I liked the colors…

    Pros
    • + Lightweight and relatively compact: I bought it as a replacement for a cropped 50D DSLR - it’s really a new century, I think soon only professional DSLRs will remain - the rest will be replaced by system ones, because 2 times smaller and lighter, while the quality of the photo / video is comparable to cropped ones, and the functionality is incomparably wider. + Photo quality: in normal light or with a fast lens - excellent, with a lack of light - average - the matrix loves light and does not like ISO above 1600. + Video quality is excellent in all modes. For amateur video - behind the eyes. I especially want to praise the AVCHD format - the quality is super though in full HD, better than 4K in regular H.264. + Huge functionality, and most importantly, everything you really need: HDR, time lapse, a bunch of creative modes, 4K photos at 60 / s or a photo 1 sec before and after clicking, posfocus, peaking, I haven’t even mastered everything yet; + Excellent stabilization system - 5-axis in the body, plus a lens, and it works in both photos and videos - it's just super, handheld video - no problem, handheld photos with a shutter speed of 1/15 - easy (I was very surprised). It really allows you to shoot at night even with a whale dark lens. + dust and moisture protection, and the whale lens too. I shot more than an hour on the minus - no problems either. + Excellent electronic viewfinder, for me there is not much difference with a reflex. + Excellent screen, touch-sensitive with absolutely correct and fast response and determination of where I clicked, although the icons are small, and my fingers are big. + I would like to note the thoughtful control system, both physical buttons and the menu system - intuitive and convenient, very convenient and functional. + Built-in flash - sometimes it's better than nothing - it saves, the same backlight.
    Cons
    • - the matrix, of course, loves light, at ISO 1600 it is still tolerable, the noise is removed almost without consequences in Lightroom, but 3200 makes a lot of noise and can only be removed at the cost of soap and small details, but there is nothing to talk about above ISO. So either during the day on the street, or with a fast lens. Although the stabilization system helps a lot - I shot with whale glass at night with ISO 1200 at a shutter speed of 1/30 and even 1/15 - everything is clear. But I wanted to reduce the ISO to 800 when the monitor was processing. I’ll take a 1.4 25 lens, I think the issue with shooting in the dark / indoors will be resolved. I take off one star only for this - I would like a less noisy matrix. Although, I repeat in normal lighting - there is no problem. - the whale lens is dark, especially at a long focus (for this matrix - see above), although it compensates with advanced stabilization and the ability to shoot at slow shutter speeds. It's good enough for video. And it shoots well during the day / on the street. For this money - a gift. But in the presence of extra ones, I would take, though expensive, but light 2.8 12-35, but the price tag. how the whole whale stands and there is no Dual IS 2, as on the whale, which will reduce the effect of 2.8. - the inability to charge via USB or power from an external battery / no USB3. - the materials, of course, although they are solid, are simpler than in Olympus, for example, well, this can be forgiven given the price.

    Great photos and videos but be careful with the screen

    I took a good look at the underwater digital camera and found it to be one of the best out there. Great reviews but as with anything that can be submerged had some issues. I bought it as a Christmas present last year and we haven't had any problems until recently. The camera takes great photos/videos both in the water and on land - crystal clear, the sound quality on it is really great (video) and we really enjoyed using it before our big holiday this fall. However, we recently ran into an…

    I've been using this camera fairly actively in wet conditions for about 3 years and am very happy with it. I open and close the hatch carefully to ensure no dirt or hair gets caught in the seal, and I only open it when the chamber is dry; I've never had a leak. I used it for snorkeling, so underwater for well over an hour, submerged occasionally, probably 15-20 feet (I'm guessing it is) and mostly on the surface.

    Superb waterproof point and shoot camera

    I have only used this camera once underwater but it has been fantastic. I took it to the pool with my daughter and niece as a test run and got some great shots of my niece swimming underwater, alternating underwater and above water. The camera is designed to pull out of the water instantly, so no smudges or water droplets will appear on pictures taken out of the water. It seems like a small thing, but in fact it was of great importance. As far as water resistance goes, it holds up very well…
