If you don’t need a full-frame camera, there are still many benefits to Micro Four Thirds. These cameras, from OM System and Panasonic, are intuitive, compact and great value, with a huge choice of affordable lenses.

One of the best examples is the Panasonic Lumix G9 II. In our original five-star review, we really sang its praises: ‘a brilliant camera that produces wonderful image quality, contains modern technology, yet remains portable and versatile with its range of available lenses.’

Via this Amazon deal you can now get it for a discounted price of $1497.99, which is excellent value.
