Regular readers know I am a big fan of the Micro Four-Thirds mirrorless system cameras.\u00a0 My preference usually runs towards Olympus but Panasonic is a player as well.\u00a0 Panasonic is especially notable for their great lenses. I’ve owned and used the Panasonic 20mm\/1.7<\/a> for years and absolutely love it.<\/p>\n

The latest Panasonic bodies are a big improvement over their predecessors.\u00a0 I owned a DMC-G3 and much preferred the Olympus cameras of their time.\u00a0 I have been spending some time lately with the latest model, DMC-G6 and so far am quite impressed with it.\u00a0 I think Olympus is still the picture quality king, but the DMC-G6 pictures are excellent as well and the video performance stands out in its class. In all respects it is a big leap over the G3, and both the G6 and its predecessor the G5 have been highly rated and recommended.<\/p>\n

The Panasonic LUMIX\u00a0 DMC-G6 is $749<\/a> and worth it, but my recent foray into Panasonic LUMIX G cameras has uncovered an excellent deal for anyone who wants to try Micro Four-Thirds, add a second camera body to their Micro Four-Thirds outfit, or get started with an interchangeable lens camera.\u00a0 The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G5 is on sale for only $399 with 14-42mm kit lens<\/a>.\u00a0 It you have a Micro Four-Thirds system and want to add a camera body you can buy the G5 body only for $279<\/a>.<\/p>\n
