Hello hello, I hope you enjoyed the video and the thoughts on this little gem I wanted to share AND the lovely Ghibli clouds I was treated to by the weather :o
Also much love to Squarespace again for sponsoring the video! Head to www.squarespace.com/teocrawford to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code "TEOCRAWFORD".
Have a great week,
Teo
P.S I've noticed that the price for this camera seems to vary quite a lot across the globe. For reference, I often find this camera body in the 400€ range, which in my eyes is a good deal - I hope that clarifies a couple questions :)
Ghibli clouds indeed! Gorgeous work as always Teo! ❤
wich setting do you use on your gx80? Like -sharpness, contrat ext or you leave it as it is?
What do you use for pov fisheye -y shots?
@@Awytoo A GoPro Hero 8 :)
I reciprocate on the documenting and photographing everything and anything! I have been thinking about my first set up; already had the Olympus Mju ii for a point and shoot and now this baby Lumix will for sure be the additional! And lol planning a trip to Japan also; small world I suppose! Thank You!
I just want to take a moment to appreciate how visually beautiful this video is.
Aww thank you!!
Agree.
I think that's the thing with this video, it's a well filmed video with not alot of shots of the actual camera in question
fr
Freaking bot
Okay but I need a tutorial on that dreamy pastel coloring that you’re doing/the way you edit your photographs and videos! It’s just so good!
Man, the quality of these videos is astonishing! I can‘t get enough of your calming and informative style of telling your storys and you inspire me to grab my camera and go out capture some moments each time again! Thank you!
I ended up getting the Lumix GX85 with the 20mm lens after seeing the Japan series, and I noticed I feel more encouraged to shoot photos more casually. And I'll definetly be taking this camera if i do go to Japan in November!
Aww amazing, that’s great! I wish you the best time in Japan!!☺️✨
Hi what your exprienment so far with the gx85, just buy it but the pictute i take is terrible. Do u have any advice on settings or anything else
@@HungTran-wf3gu You just keep practicing. Finding your style isn't fast and easy. What helps me is to get creative and find new angles and new subjects I haven't tried before. You can learn about how to control the camera's settings but those only take you so far in taking a picture. Just remember to have fun in the process
Sorry if this is a stupid question but does it come with built in filters like the Fujifilms cameras? Or is it just raw shoots?
@@HungTran-wf3gu u need learn editing i think ,&&
I love how you can say the unspoken words of my love towards photography. Your ways of expressing yourself towards photographs making me fall even more into taking photos❤
Ahhh that’s amazing, thank you for the kind words🥹🫶🏼
We all apreciatte the effort you put into these videos that make them calming, cozy, and inspiring.
Ok p Diddy 😂
I really felt that "resistance" term you used. Right now it's been ages since I hadn't have fun with my camera because of the resistance to take easy photos. You opened my eyes ❤
Hi. This is the very first video of yours that I have come across, and I have to say I am amazed by the quality of your video. I really like the look and color grading done on the scenes, especially the shots in the grass field with lots of green and yellow tones. I could literally feel the warmth of the scene as I watched the video. Really amazing work, keep it up.
I got my gx85 as a travel filmmaking camera about two years ago, and it's been an absolute joy to use. I love taking it on hikes and just getting nice shots. It sits right next to me on my desk just so I feel the urge to pick it up. I have a full cinema camera kit, but I still find myself reaching for it because I love its size and its limitations. I've shot multiple short films on it now, and the look has never disappointed me. It really is a perfect second camera.
I still have my GX80 and it's been superb for my hikes through Japan - nothing wrong with it even today! Paired with some superb Micro Four Thirds lenses (shout out to the Olympus 12-40 Pro, and the Olympus 17mm), the output still is amazing.
i actually hate shooting on cameras with big lenses because i feel awkward pulling it out around strangers + they also freeze up because its so unnatural
ikr!? Pancake lens is a must for this kind of situation 😅
You were a big part of me deciding to get this exact set-up and I never regretted it. Such a special combo. And it clearly inspires you because your photos with it are some of your best work imo.
The big companies don't want people to know it but no, you don't need the latest gear to enjoy photography. In the contrary I would say.
I have been shooting with a Nikon D60 and a 35mm 1.8 and I don't even know how old it is but if I didn't like cameras as much as I like ohitography I could very well just shoot with this combo or the GX80/20mm1.7 and be perfectly happy.
Btw, if you use lightroom I highly encourage you to use the new denoise funstion. It's ofc not perfect but it makes photos that would have been unusable at high iso completely clean and even printable.
There is no more excuse now to not use old gear (if you use lightroom).
The depth you’ve gone in in this video allows me to reflect on my purpose in photography
p.s. the visuals in this video is on par
You actually inspired me to buy my very own GX80 in July. Its so compact, and I really enjoy using it
Same. Bought my one a few years ago when find out Teo's video series about a shoting day whit GX80. And I'm so fall in love with this camera.
This video has been a fresh air in my mind about so many things i have been thinking about my photography the past months... thank you for loving this art as much as you do
Aww amazing, I’m so happy the video resonated with you in that way!🥹🙌🏼
Everything about this video is how i've been feeling for a long time.
After many years and many test trials with digicams and even the x100 i finally found the camera sparks that joy and gives me that ease of use and burden-less feeling. I found a deal on the "old" sony rx1rii and that camera has completely resparked my love for photography.
I use to shoot a lot with point and shoot film cameras, i would use them as my everyday carry whether i was going out with friends/family or on my commute to work, i would always make sure it would come with me. i would even make room for it in my camera bag on trips or my paid gigs. current film prices had got me looking more into digital point and shoots and long story short i ended up with the rx1rii and now my bigger sony has taken the back seat.
its so nice to come across video that really goes into depth explaining that feeling ive been personally experiencing. this has definitely become one of my favorite videos here on youtube that ive watched in a long time, i couldve easily watched this video front to back 10+ times even if it was hours long. so yeah thank you for that :)
Great video Teo, you inspired me to buy a GX80 about half a year ago now from watching your videos. I’ve taken it everywhere with me and whilst the image quality isn’t insane, it’s such a little pocket rocket and inspires me to capture what’s around me. My photography has improved so much from it.
You're one of the reasons why I bought this as my compact travel camera. I remember watching your early videos and being stunned by the quality of photos this camera took and for how cheap it was for me to get. I have it paired with the 25mm 1.4 PanaLeica lens and its one of my most favorite combos out of all the cameras/lenses I've owned and it made shooting photos fun again. Also the 16MP isn't an issue for large prints since Lightroom has an AI upscaler and all large photos I printed from the files of this camera came out stunning. I'm glad to see this camera getting more recognition and it saved my back from traveling with Full Frame cameras like my S1H. Thanks for all your work
My peers always thought I was strange for taking photos of what they deemed to be "boring".
Nice to know I'm not the only one
Tell your peers to get dopamine detox. Enjoying peaceful boring stuffs is a gift
If you find boring stuff interesting you’re truly an artist. Show the world what they are missing!
These are my images. I don’t have to justify them to anyone. The images make me happy and that is all that is important. The same for you.

there are no boring things, only boring people! :)
You were partly what inspired me to get a GX85! Love your photos and how you can turn something seemingly mundane into something beautiful. Been a photographer for going on 10 years and was a micro four thirds guy for a while and sold everything for full frame when I started leaning heavier into video. I realized very quickly I didn't like the weight of the bodies or lenses when going on personal trips or for EDC. Also found out there was nothing "magical" or "unobtainable" with full frame. Yes shallow dof, blah blah; but a photo is so much more than blurry background. So I decided to go back to this exact setup, GX85+20mm f1.7. I told myself I would by a 12mm or a 15mm at some point but I absolutely love the 20mm, it never comes off. I still have my full frame Panasonic cameras for work but when it's just me and I want something light to throw in my pocket or a small sling pouch, it's the GX85 that comes with me.
your works are masterpieces🥺 I really adore them! and your speech is very comforting.
thanks for sharing your experience, it’s useful for me as I’m currently picking up which camera to buy as a beginner
This made me want to start photography as a hobby. Your love of photography is so tangible in this video that I feel like I need to be a part of it
The level of dedication in these videos just keeps increasing, loving it
Thank you🥹🫶🏼
Your voice is the most soothing and this video is so peaceful ❤
incredible work you've put in for this video! props to you, keep it up
Ok, I just discovered this channel and believe I have been hypnotized by Teo’s beautiful voice, accent and presentation such that he could take a photo of a blank wall and I would swoon over it. Wonderful talent.
You made me feel so inspired❤Thanks for this one. Love your channel for a long time.
For more than a year it is my favorite too!! And the way it came to me was through your videos!! Thanks for inspiring!
Brilliant video Teo! Having that type of camera is such a joy. My Pentax Mx-1 is one of those cameras, It feel is great in the hand, has a great zoom range and just a joy to work with. No fussing with lens or having to carry a bag of lens. Thanks for sharing! Always great content!
This is a reminder of how broke i am not being able to afford a “cheap” 400€ camera
😂😂😂 I’ll buy it for you
@@eltrippy3988 I'd love one if you're offering lmao
My choice back then was the olympus om-d e-m10 and a lumix 25mm f1.7 and i never got bored! You described literally the way i feel when i shoot with my camera, i really loved this video!
I got my Panasonic Lumix GX85 back in 2017 I bought it with the kit lens, the Lumix 14-140mm F3.5-5.6 and the original Leica 25mm F1.4 (best lens I've ever owned). I love this camera it is without any doubts the camera I take with me to do everything and that's the most important as you said in your video "You can't beat someone that is having fun" I'll keep having fun with my little Panasonic Lumix GX85
This whole video is visually stunning. Amazing work
I have a Pentax K1000 too, and recently instinctively bought a Fujifilm XE-2... your video is so timely! I also love that the digital camera weighs nothing, and look forward to appreciating digital more again :3
This video is itself a work of art! Loved it to the core! ✨
It’s incredible the quality. I love your style 💛
wow, less than a minute in and I already subscribed. The cinematography is incredible. Keep up the good work!
this is video is capturing the same feelings i have about cameras for a while perfectly, such a beautiful video, very inspiring
brother. havent watched your vids for a long time. was one of your first subscribers i believe. now youve blown up. you deserve it man. youve made excelent videos that photography people love and non photography people will understand and appreciate the art. go do more brother. merry xmas
I love my GX80. It's very versatile because of its size, but also produces great images. Paired with the Panasonic-Leica 15mm lens it's hard to beat. I also love the Panasonic GM1 with the same lens, that is such a fun combination.
We are so close to 100K Teo! Happy for you man
Feel the same way about my XT-30ii, I've recently bought a 27mm prime from ttartisan and I love it so much, such a lightweight and fun packet to use
Can't wait to use it in Japan in November
7 months ago I was trying to get into photography after years of shooting with my cheap phone. I saw this camera on Amazon and I thought "mmh seems nice and reasonably priced", well at least for how far the reasonably can get ahah. So I searched for some CZcams reviews and you came up as recommended. I subscribed and then bought the gx85. Didnt regret it yet, and don't think I will. Keep it up👍👍👍
from the first video i saw, i could feel your love for photography. Thank you for sharing your point of view of the world here! 😊
The GX80 was a camera I was on the verge of getting! Love MFT and the compact lightness as well as great image quality was just great to see. I ended up with the Olympus EM5 Mk. III because of some other pros it had over the Lumix, but still this camera is a fantastic choice!
I'd like to point out that in the last decade or so progress on the digital camera front wasn't made by such huge leaps as it was earlier, meaning a person trying out photography can rely on older second hand models to cover 90% of their needs. Sure higher MP and ISO numbers are great but even having a camera that gives you usable 800ISO is just lovely. And I'd really like to be a guy starting out in this era. Congrats on making it so easy to understand for everyone!
I just fell in love of the quality of this video ❤
Even your videos are art on its own. Absolutely my favorite photography channel
Aww thank you!🥹🙇🏻♂️
Thank you so much for this video! It reaffirms my decision to buy this camera (just got it couple of days ago), although it has been discontinued for years.
I agree with so many of your points made on this vid.
Beautifully shot and presented video. I have been using this camera and lens combo since 2019 and its still the one i instinctively pick up when taking a camera out despite having two other M43 cameras.
Loved your video! It gave me such a sense of tranquility and your recommendations are helping me a lot
I feel the same about the gx80. I don't know what it is, but this camera inspires me to go out and take pictures. It's about the process of taking them and capture memories...and not about pixels and perfection. I always loved the idea of dealing with limitations. I would love to upgrade to the gx9 for the exposure compensation dial... because the rear dial on my gx80 has stopped working. And it's my 2nd one because of this. 😅
Wanna echo some of the other comments. You’re a huge reason I got my gx85 over a year ago. It is absolutely a fun camera and has made me a better photographer because I take it so many places I never used to take a camera. This was a beautiful love letter to this little beast!
Great video Teo! and wise words in this one. I love it and it gives me more motivation and a different look perspective (positive way).
Keep doing this great work of art mein Freund!
Greetings from the Netherlands!
The quality of this video is freaking beautiful ❤️
Your voice is literally the main reason I’ve stayed here so long
Dope monotone Dude ✨🙏🏽
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIDEO IVE EVER SEEN IN CZcams!
Awesome video. Its so calm and inspiring. The colors suited perfectly.
One of the most inspiring and best videos on youtube. cheers.
Teo, you are so inspiring! Plus your voice is soothing 😌
I bought my GX80 because of your street photography video in London, I think 3 or 4 years ago. It's still my go to camera!
The end of video is heartwarming❤❤
Congratulations on 100k teo 🎉🎉
I'll gonna buy this camera one day, btw i like this video, your voice the editing everything ✨
so happy I found your channel I feel so inspired!
I actually just bought this as my first ever digital camera a few weeks ago from watching your videos and it’s the best thing i’ve done!!
Congratulations on your 1st digital camera. Be careful. This could be your gateway drug into photography. Word of advice. Newer, better, more expensive cameras won’t make you a better photographer. I know this through experience.
Use the gear you have. Purchase primes if and when you need them. YT videos will help you become a better photographer. Books, as in how to or of images by photographers you like , will help you become a better photographer. Going to workshops or taking classes are also helpful. Your gear, especially your body, is the least import element of becoming a good photographer. The most important piece of gear you will ever have is about six inches behind your camera.

Just wanted to say i appreciate this video and others on the gx80. Been looking for a edc camera and your wonderfully informative and beautifully shot videos got me to put in an offer on one. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!
I love the sound of your voice. It is very calming.
I literally just got the bug to pick back up my GX85 a few days ago and it really does just inspire me to pick it up and go shoot. Thanks for putting this together
2016 feels like yesterday, I'm here to enjoy your nice taste of composition in photography, regardless the gear you use 😊.
This was so lovely, thank you so much for the video!
I completely agree with the point you're making. Though, I'm most often rocking my a7rIV, which is a quite 'hefty' camera - especially for everyday shooting. But the way I've resolved the issue of carrying it around is by getting a really comfortable and light sling bag to to carry it in. Which has in turn brought back lot's of joy to the shooting process :)
Great topic! And really love the footage!
This was fantastic. I have been taking up an interest in street photography lately, Tokyo has inspired me. I shoot a Nikon Z6, which isn't huge, but the lenses tend to be quite long which makes it bothersome to carry around all day. I might have to keep looking into this camera, I know James Popsys whom I admire loved Lumix. Also, 99.9k Subs, you're close man!
Advance congratulations on hitting 100K subscribers Teo!
You're awesome, god bless you.
Aww thank you!🥹🫶🏼 We hit it now!❤️
Teo at almost 100k subs. Love to see it! Keep up the fantastic work buddy!
Jaaa, danke David!!
Great video as usual! I also have this camera paired with a Leica 25mm. 1.4 which is the sharpest lense I've personally used on any camera. The 1.7 version seems to do the job as well though. You should have mentioned the lack of an anti-aliasing filter on this camera and the fact that it has IBIS. Both contribute to even sharper images depending on the situation.
Teo, I love you and your work! Your videos are so calming and pleasing, your thoughts are brilliant and usually offer a more insightful perspective on things. Your setup reminds me a lot of mine: my main digital camera is an Olympus EM10 mark II paired with a 20mm f1.7 Lumix lens! It was my first ''serious'' camera, I bought it 3 years ago and it gave me some exquisite shots. Lately I've been enojoying the digicam trend, and I got myself a Canon Ixus 70 (the famous sd1000): well, it made me feel and think just as described by you in this video! While tecnically it's a bad and old camera, it actually helped me a lot getting rid of overthinking and made me take more pics! I'd love to hear you talk about digicams as well :) greetings from Rome, if you'll ever come I'd love to meet you!
I love micro 4/3 cameras. I just got a Lumix Gm1 a few months ago to get back in photography and I love it. I have taken amazing photo with it and the 20mm lens. I like the built-in modes and filters, especially the dynamic monochrome.
The Gm1 is the best camera ever made.
5:30 it’s also a freeing feeling to know that even if this “cheaper” camera gets damaged, stolen or lost it’s not a big deal
A mi también me encantan los equipos pequeños y ligeros, de manera que solo cuento con el conjunto Sony A7II con la lente Sony 28-60 mm y consideró que es una combinación muy interesante. Viajo únicamente con este equipo, así no gasto energía pensando en qué lente poner en cada momento y me resulta muy cómodo 😊
Recently received my own GX80! Lovely, small companion for a great price
The shots of this video are beautiful! Makes me wanna do filmmaking again.
I have an xe3 from 2017 and I absolutely love it
Truly loved this same set up and miss it a-lot. Hoping Panasonic makes an updated version just as compact with the new phase detect. I'd grab it for any price point.
Beautiful content as always!
it is also my favorite camera that I have been using for many years. Good stuff.
Currently switching from Fuji xt200 to the lumix gx80! Excited!!
watched a few seconds to stop. what the hell are those amazing scenes. absolutely bonkers !
Almost 100k man! Been a long journey but I respect you keeping up your channel and vids :)
We did it!🤩 Thank you!🥹🫶🏼
@@teocrawford congrats!! 👏
I regretted selling my gx80 so I bought another and paired it with the 14mm 2.5. Forgot how much fun it is to use! your videos are top notch!
I am totally convinced that the 16mp sensor in that camera is a hidden gem. I opted for the g85 though but is basically the same camera just in a different body style. My travel kit is the 8-18mm, 20mm, and the 50-200mm (used to be the 35-100mm which really made the whole kit tiny but wanted the extra reach). I'll even shoot up to ISO 3200, i find that sensor gets plenty noisy, but not like a ugly digial color-noise type like some cameras seem to do. Im convinced that with RNI (Really Nice Images) film profiles in lightroom + the images off this camera give such a unique look that I've been really satisfied with.
gotta say… the videography is delightful too look at 👏
That photo at 6:00 is GORGEOUS.
I just picked up a used GX80 Body couple of minutes ago and now partnered it with my Lumix 20mm f1.7. I also have a Lumix GX8, Leica 12-60 f2.8-4 and the Leica 15mm f1.7. Your videos has been one of the inspirations why I build a MFT system aside from owning Fujifilm APSC System. I am really impressed with the quality of photos the Lumix produces. Thanks for the videos!
Very nice selection of glass for your GX80. Congratulations. The GX8 might be a better camera than the GX80. At least it is different from its cousins. I too am also in Fujiland. I only own crop sensor cameras. Full frame, for me, offers nothing I can’t get from crop sensor bodies. God bless those of us that want or need full frame sensors. That is what makes horse racing.

With regards to your point on the super high ISO capability at 9:59; that high ISO isn't really useful for single shots, but if you're stacking shots using median blending in post, then you can get the benefits of higher shutter speed in low light while keeping low noise. It's the same technique many smartphones use to achieve such low noise in their night modes.
I used his voice to make me fall asleep ❤ calm and deep
ever since watching your japan street photography series I've been wanting to get my hand on a lumix gx80 now 😅 also super close to 100k!! its gonna happen before the end of 2023 for SURE
Ohh noo hahah what’s your setup? I’m sure it’s fiiineee!✨
Yeeeee I’ve been watching it inch closer😭🫶🏼
@@teocrawford my setup is just my iphone / canon g7x 😅 and sometimes nikon f60 w/ 50 mm lens
Your voice is so relaxing 😌❤
Nice thought, Good video !! One more thing .... very inspirational 👏
