It's hard not to like this camera. Photo and video quality is excellent, especially when paired with any of the Lumix prime lenses. Even the kit lens does a good job, but I'm not a fan that you have to partially telescope the lens to "activate" the lens, which basically means it's not really as small as it looks when at it widest aperture. The lack of an EVF is honestly not a big deal and I never once missed it. Throw a grip on it and call it a day. It's a fun camera to use that just so happens to deliver quality that rivals some cameras that cost quite a bit more. Also, the titanium colorway looks amazing. It's the ultimate 'dad cam' for anyone looking for better photos/videos than your smartphone without going to a full on workhorse type camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!
