Fantastic video and surprisingly excellent images!
This is my first micro 4/3 camera. I purchased this camera solely for its 4k video capabilities and it does not disappoint. The big surprise was the quality of the photos I was getting with this camera. In many cases, the photographs rival those taken with my Nikon. I am totally in love with this little camera and find myself reaching for it more and more.
I have used this camera to take every kind of image. Portraits, landscapes, astrophotography and wildlife. The Panasonic Lumix does not disappoint! I am still discovering great new features that make this camera even better.
Excellent in low light with minimal noise.
Creates outstanding timelapse videos in 4K and 1080P with just a few minor settings.
Shoot in RAW! Oh yeah!
The rear touch screen is a joy to use and the viewfinder shows you exactly what the image will look like before taking the picture. You can preview all of your image settings live as you make them.
The kit lens performs well and is sure to make anyone happy but this little camera really shines when you put some good glass in front of it. I wanted to use my Nikon glass with this camera and luckily there is an adapter that I seriously consider to be a secret weapon.
The Metabones adapter lets me use all of my Nikon glass with this camera! The image quality is simply outstanding! You do lose most of the auto functions like auto focus and auto aperture with the adapter but with the built in focus peaking system it is super easy to see exactly which parts of the image are in focus. The Metabones Speed Booster XL 0.64x Adapter for Nikon F-Mount Lens to Select Micro truly makes this little camera a solid contender against any entry level DLSR on the market.
Let's not forget about the amazing 4k video quality either and again coupled with the Metabones adaptor, the video capabilities are pretty much limitless! This little camera has everything that my more expensive Nikon is missing.
Buy this camera. You will not be disappointed!
