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).
Pros:Compact Camera-Stabilized Sensor-Good Jpeg-Good Video-Fn Buttons-Great Menu-Lots of Functions
Cons:Rear Ring-Viewfinder-Power Button-
Opinion:I have been using it for 2 years and I must say that I enjoyed it very much. The M4/3 system is very versatile and guarantees good (excellent) image quality. It's true, up to 1600 ISO no problem, then the quality degenerates a bit, but between the stabilization the bright lenses and the greater depth of field compared to the larger sensors, it is not always necessary to get to 10000 iso The strong point is the compactness. The display is excellent, the price is excellent, the quality of both videos and photos is excellent. Videos lack headphone and mic inputs. The rear bezel is awkward and has never worked very well. The front one is valid. After 2 years, the built-in flash burned out. The viewfinder is small and I don't risolutissimo.in like the position all the way to the left anymore. Super stabilization, second only to Olympus. Do I still recommend it today? Absolutely, yes
Pros:Compact, very good construction, great layout and good ergonomics despite the compactness, stabilized sensor, fast (not -issimo) and accurate contrast AF
Cons:battery life, otherwise it is a compact body with an M4/3 sensor: if you accept the consequences of these two features, for me it has no relevant defects.
Opinion:Extremely compact body but excellently made and assembled: heavy, no creaking, many controls and all in the right place, with several customizable buttons, both physical and on screen. Screen that is very smooth, quite defined and bright even under the sun. It's flip-up, for me a great advantage compared to articulated screens: the construction is more robust and allows you to shoot in a cockpit, fantastic - inconvenient for selfies and movies, but it's not my field of use. The viewfinder, small but not too much, is particularly criticized, but considering that it is a body intended for a relatively "quiet" use (the contrast AF is performing, but not suitable for fast-moving subjects, and there is a fairly evident shutter lag) for me it is fine, I can use it without problems despite the glasses. The stabilization of the sensor is excellent, even with 45mm I can use incredibly long shutter speeds. For the rest... it's a very compact body, so it lacks a deep grip and I find that its ideal use is with the extraordinary compact fixed dedicated to the M4/3, with long and heavy lenses it would probably be uncomfortable. For me passed with flying colors, found on the second-hand for 250€ in the shop and using it was love at first sight... Compared to larger formats, the sensor has strengths and weaknesses, but bodies like this are great for maximizing the former. Recommended.
Pros:Compact.Excellent construction. Fast and accurate Af except in extreme situations. Display with touch pad af very useful. Great videos. No more selection of micro 4/3 lenses
Cons:Headphone and microphone output not present for videos. Electronic viewfinder only discreet.
Opinion:I carried it in my belt bag on several excursions with a pair of lenses supplied. (I recommend a 15 PanaLeica or a 17 Olympus + 45 Olympus) and it gave me a lot of satisfaction. Clearly in situations of limit light better to put even brighter optics such as the 1.4 of Sigma to make up for the small sensor that still behaves well up to 1600/2000 ISO. NOT EXCITING JPEGs. I recommend shooting in RAW. In all cases a gem with an excellent price / performance ratio (it is also found at € 300) that if you know how to use and if you have no pretensions gives many satisfactions.

Pros:Small, compact, stabilized, very easy to use, great files, viewfinder, cheap
Cons:It is not tropicalized, a characteristic that I sometimes need but it is not serious
Opinion:Tiny camera of 2016 still very current. Combined with Panasonic or Olympus tiny lenses (eg 20 mm 1.7, 45 mm 1.8, zooms 14-32 and 35-100 ) it is little larger than a compact but with very different performance. It holds well up to 1600 iso, the menu is easy to use, The batteries do not last very long but with little expense you can take many compatible. Now that I have equipped myself with other less compact cameras (G80 and Olympus OM-D) I use it often, as well as with the lenses mentioned, with particular lenses such as the LAOWA 4 mm f2.8, the pinhole and the Olympus 8 mm cap is always when I want to be light. 6 years after arriving on the market it is still very advisable.
