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...
Build quality, Tropicalized body, Image quality up to ISO 6400, Dual 6axis stabilization (with compatible lenses), 4K video, Pivotable multitouch screen, Large OLED viewfinder—highres and adjustable, Excellent responsiveness, 1/16000 s electronic shutter,
No headphone input, No builtin flash, Memory card slot isn't on the side, Proprietary USB port, No USB charging, 1235mm f/2.8 ASPH lens lacks uniformity
If you're looking for an interchangeable-lens camera that'll be great for excursions, travel and photojournalism; that'll work quickly and well; that's lightweight, water- and dust-resistant and with customizable controls; if you're looking for responsive...
The GX8 is weathersealed when used with premium lenses like the 12-35mm f/2.8It may not have the retro styling and overall charisma of its most direct competitor, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II, and on first impressions you could be forgiven for thinking that i...

Exceptional viewfinder scale and resolution, new vari-angle touchscreen, sturdy and water-resistant build, fast autofocus system, physical controls, 4K options, silent operation option
No drive mode dial, larger and more expensive than GX7, accidental focus point adjustment via touchscreen, battery life limitations, continuous AF not faultless

Excellent speed and burst options, Comprehensive control, Great EVF
Large frame, MFT sensor limits high-ISO performance
