Panasonic has been a great brand when it comes to Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds cameras. The company has been striving to meet the diverse needs of photographers, and to achieve this, they have launched devices that offer multiple features. If you are someone who likes the Micro Four Thirds mount, here is a look at a few cameras that offer plenty to explore.
Panasonic LX100
The Panasonic LX100 is a Four Thirds camera, which is considered one of the best compact offerings from the company. It features a 12.8MP MOS sensor, Leica’s 24-75mm f1.7-f2.8 lens, and has a 2,764-dot EVF. There is also a 3-inch 921K LCD, which can record 4K ultra HD videos at 30fps, and is quite portable. The camera excels at providing a dial for aspect ratio, boasts the best retro aesthetics, and features a lens that is fast enough to capture low-light scenes. You also get a fast autofocus, and the image quality is good, allowing you to retain details from highlights and shadows. The colors are nice, and the high ISO is great up to ISO 6400, and because of this, the device has now won our Editor’s Choice Award.
Panasonic GH4
The Panasonic GH4 is another camera with a Micro Four Thirds sensor, which performs really well. The device features a 16MP MOS sensor, supports UHD 4K video recording at up to 30fps, and includes an OLED viewfinder. There are also 49 AF points, which help to offer fast and accurate autofocus. The camera has been built well, is sturdy, and the focus peaking is a great feature that works well. It also feels nice in your hands. The RAW file is versatile, and the colors are naturally not too saturated. The ISO can also hold up to ISO 6400. Overall, the device complements various styles of shooting.
Panasonic GX8
The Panasonic GX8 features a 20MP MOS sensor with a Venus Engine image processor. The camera is compatible with various lenses, features the capability to record 4K videos, and has a burst rate of 10 frames per second. The device has the best colors, and the build quality is incredible. The rangefinder style is easy to hold, and you also have a good shutter button; there are plenty of buttons available. The in-camera image stabilisation is another thing you would reach for it. Straight out of the camera, the image quality is also quite fantastic. As we said in our review, “Overall though, absolutely any job that a person needs to get done can easily be accomplished with the Panasonic GX8–seriously any job. But it will take a true creative to really take the fullest advantage of what this camera’s imaging sensor is capable of.”
Panasonic’s new cameras are great, but their older models can also suit anyone today. So, you must choose what fits your budget the best.
