I was walking Stellar the other day by a lake thing and she saw something in the water she was afraid of, my dad, walking with me, threw a stick in the water right by it and spooked her!

I was looking to add a small walk around camera to my kit. I have an om-d e-m5 ii right now and a few m43 lenses. I've been really happy with that, but I want something a little more slim and with a flip up screen (as opposed to flip out screen). IBIS is a must have for me. Other than that, I've just been looking to not spend a ton.

So in that vein I've been looking at used m43 cameras in the less than $400usd range (preferably less than 200, but I'm considering more to add features). Ones that have gotten my attention have been:

  • lumix gx7
  • lumix gx80/85
  • olympus e-pl6 (and successors)
  • olympus e-p5
  • exciting mystery option (your suggestion goes here)

I'm mostly wondering if people have used these and have any experience or advice on which is best. If there are other things to consider I don't know about that would be helpful.

The lumix gx7 seems like a really solid choice but I've never used a lumix camera before so IDK how they stack up against some of those olympus ones. I'd be buying from mpb, upp, or keh so it had some kind of warranty at least (avoiding ebay et al)... but that does bump the initial price up just a little bit.

Also, my lenses are primarily olympus lenses... which should work but I know sometimes there are quirks with putting them on lumix and vice versa. 🤷

Anyway... if anyone has suggestions or insights it would be much appreciated. 😊

Thanks.

This little guy was hanging around and watching me cook during this last camping trip, it seemed pretty comfortable with me getting up close and getting several photos

I took this photo while working on a story about Carnival in Brazil. In the back of an old warehouse, I came across this upside-down Obama figure wearing a Uncle Sam hat, right next to a blindfolded Lady Justice statue. Both covered in dust and completely forgotten. In times of political polarization and ideological battles, the scene really caught my eye.

Religion continues to play a significant role in shaping societies and public opinion, even among those who don’t follow a particular faith.

I captured this photo of a religious woman in Kyiv during the declaration of independence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

A few days later, a major Russian news outlet used the same image to claim that the Ukrainian church had ceased to exist.

It’s a small example of how symbols and narratives are often caught in the middle of larger political and cultural disputes.

This photo is part of a project I worked on called Favela Kombat: Girls Fight Back, and it was truly something special to be part of. I spent time visiting different favelas across Rio de Janeiro, where I met women who had all faced some form of violence, loss, or struggle. What connected them was a powerful choice they made: they decided to fight back through Mixed Martial Arts.

Each of them had a dream. Some hoped to one day step into the UFC ring. Others simply wanted to feel strong again. In a place where opportunities are often scarce, they found strength in the rhythm of training, in the sweat of each round, and in the sisterhood they built along the way.

As a photographer, I was there to document it all. But more than taking photos, I left with stories, lessons, and a deep admiration for their resilience. These women showed me that fighting back isn't just about fists. It's about reclaiming who you are, one punch at a time.

Why is the contrast in this picture so brutal? Is it only because of the lighting?

I took the picture with my Canon A1 through a Canon FD 1:4 70-210mm lens on CinestillXX film with ISO 400. I used a pretty small aperture because I had the setting sun on 10 o’clock. (The wind turbines in the back are about 4,5km away, the Minion less than 500m)
