Within Fujifilm’s mid-level range of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, there are currently two models with an SLR-like styling: the X-T10 and its successor, the X-T20.
In creating the X-T10, Fujifilm’s goal was to reproduce the unexpected success of the X-T1 by combining all the best features of the former flagship camera into a smaller, more affordable package. The same can be said about the strategy behind the current flagship, the X-T2, and its baby brother, the X-T20.
Never has there been so much choice in the filmmaking world as there is today when it comes to compact systems capable of producing astounding video quality. The two leaders driving these technological advancements are Sony and Panasonic, which doesn’t come as a surprise since they have years of experience in the professional video equipment sector. Their respective mirrorless systems are extremely popular amongst amateur filmmakers, and have even been used for certain scenes in high-end productions.
Within Panasonic Lumix’s range of mirrorless cameras, there are two branches whose styling resembles that of an SLR: the GH and G series. Both have proven popular over the years, albeit amongst different user bases.
While GH series has traditionally targeted professional videographers with its state-of-the-art video features, the G series can be classified as a portable budget solution for users with a developing interest in both stills and video.

When the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and Panasonic Lumix GH4 were released in 2013, the differences between the two cameras were easier to summarise, as each had its own set of unique features such as 5-axis stabilisation on the E-M1 and advanced video capabilities on the Lumix.
Olympus has been developing its PRO series of lenses since late 2013, the year in which the original OM-D E-M1 was released. The first lens in the series was the M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO which rapidly became a favourite amongst many advanced amateurs and professionals, ourselves included. It was later joined by five more lenses, the latest of which is the M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 PRO, whose announcement coincided with the release of the E-M1 II.
