Review on PANASONIC LUMIX GX8 Mirrorless 4K Camera Body with Dual I.S. 1.0, 20.3MP & 3 Inch Touch LCD - DMC-GX8KBODY (USA BLACK) by Kyle Awasthi

A very handy camera that is easy to hold and use. Why even use a mirror reflection design when these cameras don't have a mirror anyway? The movable viewfinder is a big bonus. The reduction in body shake combined with a lens that has anti-shake is fantastic. Did I mention in-camera stitching of panoramic sequences? I remember having to do this with software on my computer. In my opinion, a rangefinder camera is much more stylish than a clunky DSLR, which has always been a necessary compromise. For travel and easy portability, this is the perfect case and camera format, unless you're addicted to the brand's 35mm vanity or really need the bulky format for professional reasons. I've been a professional photographer all my life, and recently I had an exhibition with very large reproductions, but people really couldn't find space on the walls for large reproductions. I've never had this problem in the past working with 20x24 and below. So in reality, in most cases, enlarging the details of a full-frame digital camera is a waste of time. You may be too young to remember, but before the advent of digital we also had photographic work and 35mm for gallery exhibitions was only suitable for small prints. And a lot of street and nature photographers didn't go beyond their 35mm format, I did all formats back then, from 35mm to wide angle and medium for the camera view to extra large format. However, I'm still very happy with what this new 4/3 format has to offer in terms of portability, ergonomics (35mm full-frame digital cameras are much bulkier than their film counterparts) and affordability. I'm not so much talking about the camera body as I am talking about the lenses, tripods and just incredible storage requirements. The modern 35mm SLR photographer no longer travels lightly. The industry is crying out for the vanity of our brand and the average hobbyist's desire to look like a "pro" at all costs. I just don't buy it.
