Panasonic GX80 / GX85

Pros: Compact, Durable, Lightweight, Sensor that performs well despite its age, Stabilization.

Cons: Not tropicalized, Sensor now small, Ergonomics.

Opinion: I've owned the Gx80 for a long time now and it's pretty much become the car that accompanies me every day. I use it mainly for street photography or to document what are the days with loved ones. Considering its age, it can be said that it defends itself very well, many complain about a low battery life, but for the type of use I make of it I have never detected it as a problem, most of the time I have a powerbank with me and when necessary, half an hour is enough to get it back in shape. Combined with some lenses such as the 20mm 1.7 it becomes a perfect point and shoot. The autofocus system like all the lumix of the period from what I understood leaves a little to be desired, a little much perhaps, but in afs with the right lenses (see PanaLeica 15mm) it takes points ... which proceeds to lose as soon as you use it in AFC, really terrifying. The video capabilities can be useful, there is no possibility to use LUTs, there is no way to change the region (25 / 30 fps) except with a factory menu, but as usual, for those who do not need to shoot movies, you can take the job home. The Raw are workable up to a certain point, when you exceed 1600 iso the photos are almost unusable, and in general the highlights are not really recoverable, but you can forgive them all considering that with a steady hand, in night situations you can easily shoot up to 1/40 speed. All in all it is a perfect room to always have behind, if it were tropicalized it would really be a gem, but we are satisfied with what we have (especially considering the price at which you can take it home at this point, especially in the second-hand sector).
