Smallest Tiny ILC M43 Travel Cameras- Amazing Quality MFT

Tiny but powerful- here are the smallest cameras that can change lenses, one even has a viewfinder and can take off-camera flash! M43 MFT Micro four thirds means good image quality with soft smooth bokeh backgrounds for that professional look- but from cameras as small as a deck of cards. These are my favorite ones, I prefer Panasonic Lumix cameras with Olympus lenses like the M Zuiko 45mm f1.8, a great portrait lens.The flash I use for most of this European vacation is the Godox Ad200 with the world's smallest flash trigger- the FlashQ. Enjoy my fun experiments with some of the world's smallest prosumer compact travel cameras! Subscribe for more fun.
if you are interested in any of these and wonder which one to get, it depends what you want and how you shoot. if you want the newest one with flip up screen, then the GX850. If you need a viewfinder, get a GM5 on ebay if you can find one. If you want the smallest camera possible, the GM1 on ebay. If you want cheap with flash shoe, the GX1 or even GF2 some are still available new on Amazon.

plus polarizing filters and ND filters for all lenses

Summary:
All LCD screen-only cameras are a hassle to focus in bright sunlight or when subject is moving. Very difficult to focus accurately on eyes with LCD screen. GM1, GM5, GX1, GX850 should only be used for fun or non-serious stuff unless filming video using tripod indoors.To get soft blurry backgrounds outdoors, ND filters must be used to get the lens down to f1.8 or less. Manual focus must be used in this case because autofocussing is unreliable because focussing is based on contrast and darker images have very little contrast.
GM1, GM5 have 1/50 max flash shutter speed
