Small, have IBIS, good colors, paired with the 18-55 kit is a good video combo. What about autofocus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac6000cw Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'd also vote for the GX85/GX80, maybe paired with the 12-32mm 'pancake' zoom and the 25mm F1.7 prime - both are cheap used, lightweight & good. It's just a nice, solid-feeling camera to hold and use, and has in-camera battery charging. One downside for video is the noisy audio (and no mic input). Mine usually has an Oly 14-150mm lens on it, and I use it as my travel 'superzoom' camera - laid on its side that combo fits in quite a small camera bag (or I put a neoprene wrap around it and stuff it into a small bag or rucksack). The LX100 is smaller and lighter and has a nice fast lens, but the rear screen is fixed and the stabilization for video is mediocre (as is the video C-AF). IMHO it's a great camera for stills but only 'OK' for video. (I own the first version, have never tried the mk2 version).

ac6000cw Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Another thought if weather sealing and top-notch IBIS in a fairly compact ILC body is important are the Olympus/OMDS E-M5 iii and OM-5. Both have PDAF and basically the same video quality (up to DCI4k@24p & UHD4k@25/30p) plus mic inputs. Essentially the E-M5 iii is most of an E-M1 ii and the OM-5 is most of an E-M1 iii in smaller & lighter bodies. You lose the dual card slots, the headphone jack and the large battery (and Log video on the E-M5 iii). Never owned either of them, but I do own the E-M1 ii & iii - the video C-AF is definitely more flexible and better behaved on the E-M1 iii and you get auto-iso capability in manual exposure video. That also has adjustable movie IBIS (3 levels) but I don't know if that has carried over to the OM-5 (the user guide for it doesn't go into that level of detail).
