New GX80/85 52minutes video review by ThisWeekinPhoto with Gordon Laing

Share

Thisweekinphoto posted that 52 minutes long review of the Panasonic new GX80/85 camera. And dutch readers can check out the full GX80 review at Pixelmania.

UPDATE: Camerastuffreview tested the Panasonic too:

If you have large hands, photograph often in poor conditions or prefer lenses with a long focal length, then the Panasonic GX8 might be a more suitable candidate. If you want to use the camera primarily for video, then the Panasonic GH4 is a more obvious choice. In all other cases: It is a pleasure to work with this handy camera. The AF of the Panasonic GX80 is really lightning fast. 4K photo offers the option of recording action at 30 frames per second and saving the best picture in the camera. Go ahead and argue with them, the photographers who choose a Panasonic GX80 over a Leica or a Canon.

Gonzalo: “Last April I had the chance to attend a Buddhist Monk Ordination in Eastern Thailand, and during the 2 days that the ceremony lasted I tried to capture all the different stages of the ritual to portray it in a comprehensive way. All the images were taken with the GH3 and the Nocticron without any ND filter, which made it difficult to use the lens wide open under such sunny tropical skies. You can see (and read) the full story here:
