Expert review by : Amy Davies (trustedreviews.com)
The Panasonic Lumix GX80 is the company's newest compact system camera, and is designed to be a pared-down version of the more advanced GX8; it sits just above the GF6 in Panasonic's lineup.
Expert review by : Lizzie Shepherd (techradar.com)
Panasonic's latest gives you an electronic viewfinder and lots more, in a compact rangefinder-style body
Excellent image quality ; Great set of features, including 4K video/photo modes ; Consistent and accurate AF performance
Ergonomics not as good as some rivals ; No minimum shutter speed option for Auto ISO ; Only 16MP compared to the 20MP of the GX8
Although the price may seem a little on the high side compared with competing cameras like the X-T10, the GX80 is a strong proposition that offers the ability to shoot 8MP images at 30 frames per second as well as touch-control.

With the Lumix GF8 absent from British shores, we were beginning to wonder if Panasonic had bailed on the smaller-scale and more affordable compact system camera concept. But that's not the case, as the latest Lumix GX80 (or GX85 in the USA) stands to...
Super quiet shutter, great Dual IS (including sensor-based 5-axis stabilisation), quality images (first Lumix G to lose low-pass filter), solid build quality for an affordable price, Pinpoint AF, touchscreen
No ISO 100 option, 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
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...

A good-sized camera with a great feature set, speed and quality that make it a nice alternative to a first dSLR.
It delivers excellent photo and video for a Micro Four Thirds camera, especially at its price, plus a great feature set and fast performance.
The continuous autofocus occasionally fails to lock at all in burst mode, and the battery life is poor.
LIke other Panasonic models before it, the Lumix GX85/GX80 packs a lot for its price, including great photos, 4K video and speed.

Panasonic's ultra-compact lens swapper packs a punch, but won't dent your wallet - Panasonic Lumix GX80 review
Compact, lightweight build ; Impressive image quality ; Dripping with features
Some might miss the low-pass filter
A superb system camera at the lower-end of the price spectrum ///star rating 5

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 is a compact mirrorless camera with quick autofocus, strong image quality, and 4K video capture.
Expert review by : Scott Gilbertson (wired.com)
The GX85 has small design and relatively low price for a Micro Four Thirds camera.

With an electronic viewfinder, fast continuous shooting and 4K video, it fits right into that camera's demographic: an enthusiast-friendly model with a feature set that should also appeal to families and travelers at a reasonable price.
