Panasonic Lumix GX850 4K Mirrorless Camera - Silver DC-GX850KGNS review

The Panasonic GX850 puts excellent image-quality into a compact camera body. Even though the GX850 is a mirrorless, this and its price puts it in competition with Premium Compact cameras while having the advantage of interchangeable lenses and higher image-quality.

Low image noise until ISO 3200; Nicely saturated colors; Very good Automatic White-Balance; Very fast autofocus; Instant shutter-lag; Fast and highly responsive; Extremely compact; Advanced feature-set; Solid built quality

Slight general image softness; Metering overly bright; Dynamic-range not as wide as competition; Wrong Live-Histogram; No built-in EVF; Preview not always Exposure-Priority; Missing video mode; Video recording delay; Poor battery-life
