Auch für den Beruf benutze ich die OMDs.”

Dugdale, the Steve Martin lookalike wannabe celeb…zzzzzzzzzzz
not even close, but Chris does look like Tony Stark
Two things are stopping me from buying the LX-100. Lack of tilting, touch, screen and lack of advanced remote control (not even exposure compensation is available). Hope, these features will be included later.
Interesting. I guess when you look at things only from a video perspective you might have no use for the LX-100. But I think for travelers who are mainly still shooters that love manual controls this is a pretty compelling product. A lot of his video seemed out of focus which is a shame.
I don’t understand why people complain about no audio input, since you are not happy with the preamp in the camera and prefer to use an external mic, why not go all the way to use a mic like Shure V83F lenshopper then syn in the post?
I think Dave Dugdale’s LX-100 review is kind of cheap. He made a couple of nice video shots and linked to the other guys for a complete review. He explains that he don’t like the difference to shots with the GH4 but he don’t know why they are different and he even don’t try to fix this. Actually he knows what he should have tried to get better results but still blames the camera.
Finally, he votes the camera down for not having a mic input.
In my opinion the LX-100 is not the camera for people who want to carry an additional microphone like the rode he has on his table. It’s a camera for people who what to take pictures and 4K-videos without additional stuff. People who are not interested in 4K-video might be better off with the GM5 which is smaller, uses the complete sensor area and is more flexible with different lenses.
Another important group of LX-100 users will be people who need a second cam for video. They will have a GH4 or some other large cam which can be used as main cam with continous sound and the LX-100 for additional shots.
43rumors You really need to post the excellent GM5 and lens review and pictures by BackGroundBlur by itself so more will see and enjoy them. This is the best comparison with other cameras and what lens fit best on the small GM1 and GM5 you will find anywhere to date.
43rumors-post with the title “A bit of everything” are used to post a number of interesting links. Not just the first one with the included video.
By looking again a little bit closer, you might find out that 43rumors already did exactly what you asked for in the post you are commenting. 😉
Yes it is posted under the title “A bit of everything” and that is why few bothered to see or comment on it. For a new camera the GM5 is still among the leaders in readers interest over in DPR I would hope that 43rumors would feature BackGroundBlur’s review of the same as it best points out the size advantage the GMs have for m4/3.
One item I think the review of LX100 omitted is just how good it handles noise. According to the recent Jan 2015 test of same they rated noise from extremely low at ISO 800 to moderate at ISO 12800. The resolution was rated as extremely high 2375 lines at iSO 100 and with little drop 2125 lines at ISO 12800! That is better performance on handling noise than any other 4/3 sensor camera I know and excellent high ISO performance comparable to larger sensors.
