No question about it.
Those LUMIX can be pretty darn good picture takers.

The ONLY PS I ever owned was a Canon film type, model unknown. It had a 2-position lens for normal and tele. Problem? It ate Batteries like I owned stock in Duracel. Pictures were only OK so we put it in a drawer or gave it away.
A buddy owns a Canon PS digital and swears by it. Easy and fast with good results.

If anybody asks me about cameras at that level, I say that ergonomics and 'feel' are at least as important as the rest of it.

I owned Canon for decades. Starting with the TLb from mid-70s on thru the 'A' series (A-1) and than to the new lens mount and the EOS1n which was fine. I went digital later, but than discovered a lens I liked was really crap. The 35-105 f2.8 Tamron was only so so and was replaced by a Canon 24-105 f4 'L' lens. a keeper.

I still own my ONLY 120 roll film camera. A Yeshica 635 which is 6cm and 35mm convertible. Non-interchageable TLR, it is a good picture taker but I've kind of lost track where to get film processed any more! I have the full 35mm conversion kit but it is cumbersome to use. And wastes film winding it around in that huge camera.

Havent' done any darkroom in 25 years. Never DID own a good enlarger. And never got past B&W, which for me peaked with the T-Max Kodak emulsions needing T-Max developer.

I still have my Kodak Data Guides. and my GraLab timer!
