Panasonic GX8 Tutorial Video
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 is a brand new compact system camera aimed at the keen enthusiast. The GX8 integrates 4K video recording capability with a variety of 4K Photo functions, capable of recording 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) video with either 30p or 24p frames rates at 100Mbps in the MP4 format. The Panasonic GX8 features a new 20-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor (making it the highest resolution Micro Four Thirds body to date), a built-in 90-degree tilt-able Live View Finder (LVF) with 2360k dots and 1.54x / 0.77x magnification, and a free-angle 3-inch touch-sensitive rear LCD screen with a resolution of 1040K dots. The DMC-GX8 also offers Panasonic’s first Dual I.S (Image Stabiliser), a splash and dustproof magnesium alloy body, 8fps continuous shooting, low-light focusing down to -4 EV, focus peaking, silent mode for street photography, built-in wi-fi and NFC connectivity, ultra-high speed AF of just 0.07 sec, mechanical (1/8000th sec shutter speed) and silent electronic (1/16000th sec shutter speed) shutters, RAW support and an ISO range of 100-25600.
The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 is the successor to the two-year-old GX7, which actually continues in the range for the forseeable future. Comparing the two cameras side-by-side quickly reveals that the GX8 is a bigger, heavier and more serious affair than its predecessor, with a higher launch price to boot. Compared to the direct compeititon, the GX8 is similar in sizer and weight to the Olympus OMD-EM1 and the Fujifilm X-T1. Within the Panasonic range, only the flagship DMC-GH4 sits above the GX8, which with its DSLR-styling and video-centric positioning is an altogether different proposition. The magnesium alloy bodied Panasonic GX8 is quite a large Micro Four Thirds camera, measuring 133.2 x 77.9 x 63.1mm, and weighing 435g without a lens attached or battery inserted, although this is only actually 33g more than the GX7. Even with a slim lens like Panasonic's 20mm pancake fitted, the GX8 isn't pocketable, being much more at home in a small camera bag, which may be a deal-breaker for some. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 has a chunky hand-grip on the right that really helps with the camera's handling, with more than enough room to accommodate three fingers. This works in tandem with the sculpted rubberized thumb-rest on the rear to ensure that it's easy to get a grip on the GX8.
