so I thought this might be a little bit of fun this isn't an exhaustive list of micro 43s cameras because we would be here all day these are just ones that I've either owned or heavily researched on things I know and love if there's any that you think I Mis rank or any that I've missed that you would like to add rankings in of your own just let me know in the comments and we can have a little chat about it let me get my green screen I hate this fit I'm never getting that down again such a professional so let's start with the Lumix G7 it's the first Lumix camera that I ever bought and it was my gateway drug in video this channel appeared the rest is history there are a couple of things that make that camera a little bit tricky it is plastic fantastic and it is not stabilized and it's not weather sealed but the video features are fantastic that stand up today you've got an audio input it's absolutely brilliant for photos I got some great photos with this camera in the past so I'm going to put it in Blooming brilliant the Olympus em5 the OG this is one of my favorite everyday carries it's built like a tank with a magnesium alloy body it was so ahead of its time it's the first weather sealed micro fors camera to my knowledge and it's tiny and it's beautiful and it's very very affordable now so all of those things combined I'm sticking in the god te I'm sticking it in the best of the best baby the Lumix gx80 I fell in love with this camera when I owned it it's stabilized it's small it has an evf it's so so good of of course I sold it because I'm a bluming idiot and this is how oh my green screen's up you can't actually see my cameras this is how I end up with all the cameras behind me because it's things like this where I regret selling something that makes me never sell anything ever again it's one that's on my radar that I want to buy again I regret selling it it's got to go in bluming brilliant the penf another one that I regret selling let's not muck about it's one of the best if not the best micro 43s cameras photoc Centric cameras ever made so yeah it's going straight in the god tier not messing about next this was a camera that I was considering buying because it had phase detect autofocus and some other bits and Bobs when it first came out but for this reason alone the absolute heck and chunk and size of it the Olympus em1x with its non removable grip I'm sorry it's a micro 43 camera it has no right to be that big people say the g mark I is Big look at the state of this this is a crime against photography the Lumix G80 this is the camera that my dad used when we went to far Islands together he got some amazing images it was weather sealed it's got a nice grip it's still very portable absolutely brilliant I think it's such an underrated camera because I feel like the G9 sort of stole its Thunder a little bit so I'm going to put it in good for certain things now hit me out it is good for certain things because it is rugged it is light but it isn't quite small enough to be sort of an everyday everything carry sort of camera and it's not the best at video either the Olympus pl6 my little red camera of Joy I took this around Munich and had a whale of a time and it has its eccentricities as all old Olympus cameras do but it's built like a tank it's stylish it it takes fantastic photos it's very one note I think it's a great everyday carry for photos so I'm going to put it in good for certain things the Lumix gh5 it's going in the god tier guys this was the camera that changed my life I had some amazing photos it taught me how to do video I run my wedding business around it for my wedding films for many years it is amazing I want to be buried with that camera and I'm not even joking the Olympus om1 stunning stunning camera and I like that it's a little bit smaller than the G9 mic 2 I think it's fantastic for wildlife the video features aren't terrible they're not the best but it's not really what that camera is about I'm sticking this in Blooming brilliant this is a controversial one the Lumix J 6 now I love this camera and when I first got it I just thought y it's the best microphone thirds camera that's ever been made I took it to the farro Island it's great for photo amazing for video but then when the G9 m 2 came out there's so much crossover for me I think the G9 m 2 is actually a better camera for video Centric people the gh6 is probably the best option but for my needs I'm going to stick this in good for for certain things and it pains me to do it but it's the truth but I do love it and I regret selling it the system om5 now this has phase detect it's absolutely gorgeous aesthetically it looks very similar to the em5 except we don't have the metal build quality you do have some pretty good video features you have stabilization you have all the lovely computational features like live composite mode and Starry Sky it's cracking I think it was a little bit of like a a stepping Stone in the OM system lineup because I wish it had the menus from the om1 which are much much more intuitive than the old school Olympus menus I don't think it's god tier I think if they bring out a new one with the new menus and a little few more bells and whistles I think it could be god tier eventually but as it stands I'm going to put it in bluming brilliant this is the Olympus air now I bought this maybe a year ago to review as part of my tiny camera series cuz I love me a weird camera and this is B basically a sensor that's it you stick a lens on it you can attach it to a camera or you can use it Standalone I've had a nightmare with this because it won't work with modern phones and it's it's it's an Abomination it's a crime against photography until I can get it working it's a crime against photography the Lumix G9 Baby G what a legend this was what I imagine a lot of photographers I want to be buried with this camera camera is you know like the gh5 just stole my heart I think the G9 will have done that for people that are very photoc Centric I used it recently in Kenya for a day and oh it's lovely it has the most sensitive half pressed shutter I've ever felt on any camera in my entire life but aside from that it's rugged it's amazing and I do think it will be a lot of people's best camera ever I'm sticking it in God tear baby it's going all the way to the top controversial the Olympus em10 now this is the original that I'm talking about but the whole lineup to me confuses me I mean aside from the price difference when these things were new I understand that it's like a a lower tiered em5 you don't have weather ceiling it's not as good and I just think they look identical like this is an em5 this is an em10 I don't think there's enough between them to both warrant a place in existence so I'm sticking the em10 in uninspiring if you're looking at an em10 just buy an em5 the Lumix G9 Mark 2 let's not mock about in my opinion it's the best micr 43s camera that money can buy it's going in the god tier it's phenomenal for video it's phenomenal for photo it's made me not like my gh6 it's that good so yeah God TI this is the Lumix g100 I've had some strong opinions on this camera in the past but I think it is very small it's a very fun everyday carry you do have some pretty decent video features you do have a mic input you do not have stabilization which is my main stick point but I do think it's pretty good also it's very plastic I've already smashed the bottom of this just by taking it on and off a tripod it's flawed but if you want a light everyday carry like if I go for a long walk that's the camera that I'll just sort of stick on my bag because it's so so light I think it's good for certain things just probably not video the next camera is a camera that I very nearly bought and didn't in the end which which I will explain why the Olympus pl10 this came out in 2019 and when it was announced I was like oh is this what the micro 43s Community has always wanted a small photoc Centric camera that has all the bells and whistles that we want no it's not they had the audacity to call this an entry-level camera but then charge like 700 quid for it I don't get it pick a team make it high quality and expensive or actually entry level and entry level it still has contrast-based autofocus even though it was announced a month after or a month before the em5 Mark II which has phase detect autofocus so like they could have done it they could have made the perfect camera it's stylish it's small they could have had phase detect and it it all just became a mess so I'm putting this uninspiring it almost went into a crime against photography but I actually think it's a very good camera it just could have been better like the g100 it could have been better so if any of these cameras so far have caught your eye it may be worth checking out mpb they're a worldwide company and if you are

for sponsoring this video quick fire around the Lumix gx800 this is a brilliant everyday carry and one of my favorit it's super duper affordable and feature Rich it's absolutely pants for video but really good for photos and it's actually the prize for the microone Nerds photo contest for April so if you want to win a gx800 I'll put it on screen here it's a nice orangey boy it's not the one that I've spray painted join the contest by joining my mailing list and good luck I'm going to stick this in good for certain things because I do think it's wonderful but I don't think it's better than a lot of the cameras that are higher up in this list It's banging great for photography but sort of No Frills a very similar proposition the Lumix gm1 with the exception being that this is the smallest micro 43s camera ever made possibly debatably the smallest interchangeable lens digital camera ever made some people say it's the pentex Q some people say it's the gm1 the measurements to me say it's the gm1 but whatever I think this is going to God TI I think this is what Micro 4 thirs is all about small premium photoc Centric fun colors really easy to use Easy to take out with you love it love it love it love it love it love it but if you're not really bothered about getting the world's smallest anything the reason I love the gx800 so much is the specs are so so similar and they're like half the price so bargain hunting tip for you and my second spray painted monstrosity is the Lumix gx8 I love this camera because it's very very similar aspect to the Olympus PF which as you can see is the GTE this is sort of the Lumix equivalent you do have a couple of things above and beyond the penf so this is weather sealed and it has an audio input if you want to shoot video not the best thing in the world for video but you can do it the difference being it's bluming ugly isn't it I mean I mean before I spray painted mine not as pretty as the the penf so even though I prefer it because I think it's easier to use and it's weather sealed and it's more comfortable in the hand I don't think it has The Prestige of the penf so I'm going to put it in bluming brilliant there's one more camera and it warrants its own category I'm just going to move up my diagram a little bit could have been an email the om1 Mark I largely firmware updates I don't think it was enough to Warrant a mark 2 upgrade I think it screwed over a lot of om1 users like myself could have been an email I will be taking no comments at this time
