Verdict

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 is a weather-sealed Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that features a 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor, a Venus Engine image processor, and a rangefinder-style magnesium alloy body. Key advantages include a unique 90-degree tilting 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder, a 4-axis Dual Image Stabilisation system, rapid Depth-From-Defocus autofocus, up to 10 fps shooting, and 4K UHD video recording at 30 fps. However, it suffers from minor shutter shock at specific speeds, a crop factor during 4K video capture, the lack of a built-in flash, and an in-body image stabilization system that is disabled during movie recording.
