Best Street Photography Camera for Beginners

Non-clickbait title: Panasonic Lumix Gx7 Review in 2021

The Panasonic Lumix Gx7 is a really capable little street photography camera that I believe rivals street photography legends such as the Ricoh GR II and Fujifilm X100F. In this review I hope to prove that point by highlighting some of its stand out features.
I've seen others promote the Panasonic GM1 as a great street camera for beginners and while it is a lot more compact, it also goes for a higher price on ebay and it lacks a lot of the conveniences of the Gx7.

Man, what a find! This channel deserves so much more attention, your sense of humour mixed with the technical specs of the product make this video a delight to watch! Keep up the awesome work, Boris

Shout out to the one thing not mentioned in the comments below: the quality of your photographic examples. Most street photography reviews come with good reviews boring shots but yours are excellent, really well done. And as a daily street photographer myself I agree a tilting rear screen is a must have feature.

as a GX9 owner I totally agree of course. Love the pics.

Im pretty new to photography started with mobile then I remembered my mom bought a camera couple years back, dug it out and found out its a GX7 and am loving it to this day, yet to learn how to use it more. This video makes me feel blessed to start photography with the gx7

Never ever saw a better review. Love Micro four thirds...i use the gx80 and gx9. Greetings from Germany.

I went out and bought a gx7 because of your video and I love it. Thanks for posting.

[jcduval]

The review, the photos, the humour, everything is perfect in your video ! And by the way I never though the GX7 was so good :)

[pauuuuul]

This is one of the best videos I've seen since a very long time. GX7 definitely gained a spike in popularity after this was posted

This was great! Entertaining and informative! I had the GX7 - finally realized I wasn't using it and moved onto the GX9. But when I had it, while it had its limitations, the GX7 was a great little all rounder for many different situations.

Love Love my GX7. It's my street shooter. And now mated with my Voigtlander 25 0.95 I am so so happy. It's also a body I use when shooting with legacy glass. Have adapters for M42, K-MOUNT, Canon FD, Olympus OM, Nikon F, Minolta MD. Now I collect older manual glass. Amazing how nuch older glass is out there for literally peanuts.

It's like having a cool teacher in class. Knowledgeable yet funny! I can sense the time and effort put into these videos.

Boris. First of all, awesome review as always. I can't help but notice how beautifully shot and edited this was. You should consider making movies! Also, the humor is far more intelligent than what you usually get with other youtubers these days. In the future, it would be cool if you made a film analysis with this sort of structure. Just keep producing brother!

GX9 + Lumix 15mm Leica lens = awesome MFT combo. The Olympus 25mm f1.8 is great, as is the Olympus 45mm f1.8 and Lumix 30mm macro lens.

[adnan.sidd]

Oh this is one of the greatest videos I have ever stumbled upon! Great humor, amazing editing, and obviously super informative!

I've watched this video more than 6 times since it was released. I looked everywhere and waited for many holiday sales and seasons until I finally found myself buying a GX7 used. I like this video because it's so true and holds up today just li, e it did the day it was released.

[skfineshriber]

Good video. The GX7 was my second MFT camera, and I think it's an excellent camera for still photography. It has the best ergonomics of any of the GX series. My only disappointment is mine always had a slight lag between hitting a control and seeing that parameter highlighted on the LCD ready to change. I love tilting LCDs for street photography because they are much more discreet that an LCD hanging off the side of the camera.

[douglydiate]

You hit the nail on the head with this video. Lumix make so many good cameras that are suited to street and you get so much more bang for your buck with their cameras. I've just bought the G80 which is weather sealed and has 5 axis IBIS and cannot wait for lockdown to end and get on the streets with it. I ditched full frame 2 years ago for MFTs and do not regret it in the slightest. Good video.

[weisserth]

I'd recommend the GX85 now. Comparably cheap, addresses most of the caveats you mentioned. Video is simply breathtaking on the GX85.

You intro really blew me off. Didn't expect that. Great work!! Youtube needs more of this. I recognized the sound quality from the first second on.

[conicsvalencia]

Wow! The video production was superb and the content itself is very informative!
