Panasonic Lumix DC-GX800 review

Panasonic's latest entry-level lens-swapper is a pocket-sized delight

Tiny for a system camera ; simple controls and usable touchscreen ; Refreshingly affordable for a 4K-capable CSC

No viewfinder ; Takes microSD cards

An ideal compact system camera for beginners

Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850 is one of the smallest mirrorless cameras you can buy today, and while its 16MP sensor isn't cutting edge, it's a solid entry-level model.

Very small. Tilting touch LCD. Fast focus. 5.7fps continuous shooting. 30fps capture in 4K Photo mode. Built-in flash. Includes retractable zoom lens. 4K video. Wi-Fi.

16MP sensor is a bit dated. MicroSD memory easily lost. No EVF, hot shoe, or mic input.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850 is an appealing camera, especially for family photographers who simply want high-quality snapshots from something small and easily packable. It delivers good, although not class-leading, image quality, has Wi-Fi so you can...
