What is the best micro 4/3rds camera in 2019?

4 years 7 months ago #657682 by Carry
Is the Panasonic GH5 still considered the best or has something taken that title?  My father has a GH4 and that camera died.  He loves micro 4/3rds.  I tried to convert him to mirrorless last year and he had no interest. So we are getting him a new 4/3rds camera.  

Would you recommend the GH5 or ???

It was maybe a DPR test, I don't remember for certain but the article I read gave the "best" title to the Olympus, OMDE1, or something like that...I wouldn't hesitate owning the panasonic if I was going in the micro 43rds direction....
The best is the one in your bag though.

Why so serious?

If you want to stay Panasonic then it's the G9. Olympus has the OMD E-M1 MKII. The E-M1X is out there but it's more of a specialty camera. Those are the top of the line.

I think Panasonic Lumix G9 is a good camera. I never used it but my friend has that and he told me that he is happy with the G9.

Isn't the GH5 getting closed to a replacement?  GH6?  I wouldn't invest into that camera right now, I'd bet in the next handful of months, that will be coming out.

You do realize the GH4 is mirrorless don't you? The above statement makes no sense. If he is using a GH4 he has already converted to mirrorless. All m43 cameras are mirrorless.
