Panasonic GX850/GX800 tested at Dpreview

Share

Dpreview tested the Panasonic GX850/GX800 and concluded:

The GX850 is technically capable of good stills and video quality. It also offers fast, accurate AF and a great touch capability. Moreover, it is also incredibly simple to operate, especially for a novice shooter (though the Canon M10 may be even simpler to pick up and shoot).
So if small size, simple operation and the inclusion of a selfie screen are important to you, the GX850 is not a bad option. But for a bit more cash you can score a more usable camera (with dual control dials) in one of its competitors or even in its own older sibling, the GX85. You just won’t get the selfie screen in the latter.

Panasonic GX850 is in Stock at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama and Panasonic store.

The MFT compatible Neptune Convertible Art Lens System is on Kickstarter

Share

The Lomo guys created a new interesting convertible Lens System. You can finance their idea on Kickstarter:

The Neptune Convertible Art Lens System consists of a lens base that’s mounted to your camera and several convertible lens components. By interchanging the front components, you can shoot photos or videos at three different fixed focal lengths — 35mm, 50mm and 80mm. An Art Lens System unlike any other; it offers you all the freedom of a zoom lens without compromising on prime lens quality, and it’s the only convertible Art Lens out there to work with a range of modern-day analogue and digital cameras. Each component is assembled by using the finest multi-coated glass and crafted to produce exceptionally sharp focus and strong, saturated colors for stunning high-definition images — even when you’re shooting close-ups at 0.25m/9.8” with Thalassa (35mm), 0.4/15.7” with Despina (50mm) or 0.8m/31.5” with Proteus (80mm). This is an Art Lens System that lets you take beautifully intimate shots, allowing you to get near enough to capture every last detail of your subject. And because it’s so small and lightweight design, you can take it with you everywhere.
