Panasonic vs Olympus

The monochrome battle! – Fuji X-Pro2 vs. Olympus Pen F vs. Panasonic GX85

23/05/2016 By Mathieu

When you think about photography, it is almost impossible not to think about black and white images. They are linked to the history of photography itself and to the many important names that made this art form popular. Even today, monochrome is still the preferred look of many enthusiasts and professional photographers.

Comparing the Panasonic GX8 and Olympus OM-D E-M1 – Sensors and stabilisation

09/09/2015 By Heather

The Panasonic Lumix GX8 is a camera full of firsts, from its new 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor to the integration of Panasonic’s first dual image stabilisation system. Of course, as with any new feature, photographers are curious to know just how they stack up against the competition – namely, the 16MP sensor on other Micro Four Thirds cameras and the 5-axis in-body stabilisation found on Olympus OM-D cameras.

The Battle of the Pros: Olympus OM-D E-M1 vs. Panasonic Lumix GX7

14/01/2014 By Mathieu

At the end of 2013, both Olympus and Panasonic confirmed that they would be cutting back on low-end compact camera production, an inevitable reaction to the dramatic decrease in digital camera sales and the rise of the smartphone as a portable shooting device. As a change in strategy, they will begin investing their money and efforts into mid-to-high end mirrorless Micro Four Thirds models, two of which are the subject of this comparison.

The OM-D E-M1 and Lumix GX7 are representative of Olympus and Panasonic’s change in mindset. Though compact compared to their DSLR counterparts, they aspire to professional heights regarding both image quality and performance.

Panasonic Lumix GX7 vs. Olympus Pen E-P5: How does low-light performance compare?

06/10/2013 By Mathieu

About twenty minutes away from the city of Turin sits one of the grandest royal palaces of Northern Italy, the Reggia di Venaria Reale. It is the former royal residence of the house of Savoy and is one of the largest royal residences in the world.

The palace was mostly used as a base for duke Carlo Emanuele II’s hunting expeditions. Inside you will find dozens of rooms, each decorated with paintings by famous court artists of the times, stuccos and statues. Outside are the expansive royal gardens which were destroyed during the Napoleonic domination to make way for a French training ground, but were later rebuilt in a modern style.

Since cloud, mist and rain had engulfed most of Italy on Saturday, we decided to visit the palace to test out the new Panasonic Lumix GX7 with a specific focus on how it compares to its direct competitor, the Olympus Pen E-P5. (We also brought along the Fuji X-M1 but we’ll leave that for a future article!)

OM-D E-M5 vs DMC-GH3: clash of the titans in the Micro Four Thirds realm!

28/05/2013 By Mathieu

In the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3, the Micro Four Thirds system has its two best representatives: two compact yet professional bodies that prove what MFTs is capable of when it comes to image quality for both still and video, as well as the flexibility of the system.

But what is the purpose of comparing two cameras?

Well, for us, not only is it a way of pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each model, but it is also a chance to summarize our personal experiences with them. It is a way in which we can give you advice about the style of photography that best suits these cameras, while helping you answer that tricky question: which model is best for me?
