On a recent trip to Perth, I took my Micro Four Thirds cameras, including the LUMIX G9II and LUMIX GH7. This video discusses the pros and cons of the Micro Four Thirds system for travel purposes and answers the question, "Is Micro Four Thirds good for travel in 2025?"
The compact and lightweight design of the Micro Four Thirds cameras made it easy to carry them around as I explored attractions like the Swan River and Kings Park. The GH7 offered exceptional video quality, allowing me to create dynamic clips of breathtaking sunsets and bustling street scenes, while the G9II excelled in still photography, capturing crisp images with impressive detail.
Both cameras perform well in varying lighting conditions, which was particularly handy when shooting early morning and late afternoon. Overall, my experience with the Lumix GH7 and G9II elevated my travel photography and videography, enabling me to document my adventures in a creative and expressive way.
