It seems hard to believe now, but a few years ago the very concept of a pro-quality mirrorless camera didn't exist. Then the Olympus OM-D E-M1 , Panasonic GH4 , Fujifilm X-T1 , and Sony A7 all happened. Lost in the shuffle among these fantastic flagships...
Panasonic has a winner on its hands As good as the GX8, it's hard to overlook its $1,200 body-only price tag. That kind of price invites some serious competition, including entry-level full-frame DSLRs from Canon and Nikon and a slightly aging class o...

As much as we were impressed by the design of the Lumix GX7, we're a little more unconvinced by the GX8. We understand that you need to make room for mechanical stabilization inside the camera body, and the 2,360,000-dot OLED viewfinder is pretty large to...

Our scepticism quickly mellowed once we got hold of the GX8. This is a camera that's easy to love, with a stylish design and rugged build quality that's a step up from anything we've seen from the Lumix G range before. Keen photographers will appreciate t...

The GX8 with a 20mp light receptor is the first micro four thirds camera to break the 16mp sensor barrier. Dual image stabilisation, in the lens and in the body, along with 4K video capture are standout features of the camera. The tilting 2.36m dot OLED v...

It's been almost exactly two years since we last saw a GX-series model – the viewfinder-laden "flat" compact system camera series – in 2013's excellent Lumix GX7 . But with the new GX8, we see the shifting focus of Panasonic as a camera company: to aim at...
