A new camera launching

[FUJI]

For anyone contemplating a new camera at a reasonable price you might consider the, about to be launched PANASONIC GX78.....all the features of the interchangeable lens models, plus a few surprises....the spec is fantastic...

ive just read up on it.........I'm happy with my GX7 .....but would consider this, if I didn't.

I've just googled - can't find a GX78  anywhere. You sure you got the name right? Do you have the link?

The GX8 is a superb bit of kit, but it's just over a grand. Jessops are doing the GX7 at £349 and then there's £50 cash back from Panasonic. Makes a lot of financial sense if you don't need or want the extra bells and whistles.

That GX8 does look bloody good, though and if I didn't need to convince management, I'd have one tomorrow 

I was looking seriously at the Fuji XT-10, but when I did some financial considerations, the GX7 won hands down. VERY pleased with it - had some super results and it's a joy to handle. Lovely and light to carry around, too. The Panasonic G forum is a bit naff, though.

Known as the GX80 outside North America, apparently. So  it looks as if Korky's link might be the one.

Introducing the GX85 / GX80

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 (known as the GX80 outside of North America) is Panasonic's latest mid-range Micro Four Thirds model. It sits in the company's 'GX' series which is used to denote that it's targeted towards dedicated enthusiast photographers but priced as a mid-range model.

Flippin' 'eck ..I see it also has post focus technology too ... that would suit someone we know Judy ... AHEM .. Not on this forum  I hasten to add

A few of the latest Panasonics have the fancy focus thing - they shoot 4k video moving the focus point through the scene then you pick the one you want to stack them to increase the DoF.

Looks a very nice camera.

However, I wouldn't trade my LX100 for something with a PASM dial and no shutter speed dial... Well, not just yet anyway.

OK!

You don't like that one?

How about this one?

That along with a 35mm f1.4 ASPH will be one of the VERY first things I buy should I win the Lotto.
