16Mp sensor rather than 20Mp
Relatively small viewfinder
The continuous autofocus occasionally fails to lock at all in burst mode
And the battery life is poor
Default control set-up feels dated
Viewfinder isn't the best
No mic socket for video

Image processing can negate critical detail (from ISO 3200)
Limited battery life
Loses a stop in shutter speed (compared to GX8)
Continuous autofocus still not quite there
Some might miss the low-pass filter
Screen doesn't articulate
Small viewfinder
Somewhat complicated controls that take a while to learn
While is disappointing that Panasonic has gone for a 16Mp sensor rather than a 20Mp device, it's interesting that the company has gone for the filterless approach. I wonder if this is something that will be rolled out more widely across the camera range?I...
Reliable image stabilisation, Fast startup and successive shooting, Many useful 4K shooting modes to choose from, Helpful tilting touchscreen controls, Smart and fairly compact design, Smooth 4K video capture
Somewhat complicated controls that take a while to learn, No manual EV dial, The rear monitor tilts, but is not fully articulated, The EVF doesn't tilt up as with the Panasonic GX8, Some noise visible in low light shots
This feature-rich mirrorless camera has an in-depth menu system to contend with, but the touchscreen monitor and on-camera dials make it manageable, while the 4K video capture is particularly impressive...
Compact, lightweight build, Impressive image quality, Dripping with features
Some might miss the low-pass filter
I know that, for most people, £600 is a sizeable wedge – but if you spend it on this camera, you're getting a lot for your money. It's almost the perfect entry-to-mid-range system camera in my opinion: compact and lightweight; full of features and UI tou...

Panasonic GX80 – Performance and AF Panasonic cameras have a decent reputation for quick auto focusing, and the GX80 doesn't disappoint here either. Focusing is accurate in a good range of conditions, with a focus lamp providing assistance when the light...
The GX80 has a lot to be applauded, offering not only respectable image quality, but also several advanced features like 4K recording and 5-axis Dual I.S. at an appealing price. Sitting below the GX8 in the brand's lineup, it feels as much an evolution of...
There's nothing particularly radical about the GX80, but I often find that it's mid-range models like this that provide the best value. All in all, the GX80 is very similar to the Panasonic GX7 released in 2013, but with 4K video, a slimmer kit lens and a...

In many respects the Panasonic Lumix GX80 is a more desirable purchase option than its GX8 big brother: it's smaller, for starters, has the core viewfinder and tilt-angle LCD make-up included, adds 5-axis image stabilisation and, critically, is more...
Compact size, OLPF, less design sensor for greater detail, Built, in viewfinder
16Mp sensor rather than 20Mp, Relatively small viewfinder
Although the price may seem a little on the high side compared with competing cameras like the X-T10, the GX80 is an interesting proposition that offers the ability to shoot 8Mp images at 30 frames per second as well as touch-control...

Abstract: Panasonic has expanded its range of mirrorless cameras and interchangeable lenses with the launch of the new Lumix GX80 with Digital Live MOS sensor of 16 megapixels. True to the compact style of its predecessors, the new camera will be the best ally to c...
