Panasonic Lumix GF8: the mirrorless handbag for selfies

The Panasonic Lumix cameras GF series are certainly among the most pocket in the panorama of mirrorless often pocket is to say even 'handbag' favorite and then the female audience because of its small size.
Starting from this consideration probably Panasonic unveiled the latest in the series, the new Lumix GF8, which starting from the base of the previous model comes in for a 'selfie addicts' version. In its data sheet we are now, in fact, not just a swiveling touchscreen display that can rotate 180 degrees forward, but also a series of 'beauty' filters can beautify the skin, whiten teeth and add make-up effects .


Aesthetics of who is photographed, but not only that, but the aesthetics of the machine is a crucial point for this camera, which comes with brown leather trim and silver, but also orange and pink for those who want to make their camera a accessory in tune with their outfits.

At a technical level we find a Micro Four Thirds sensor 16 megapixel Live-MOS with Venus Engine, which can process up to 25,600 ISO with autofocus contrast to 240fps. On the video front Lumix GF8 comes to Full HD 60p and offers the Snap Video mode, to assemble together short clips from a few seconds each. There is the ability to record video in stop motion and time lapse.

It's no electronic viewfinder, but in the upper cap hides a retractable flash. It is the ease of use one of its strengths, with proven iA (Intelligent Auto), which has been shown to get along well in most situations of use. 
The shutter arrives only to 1/500 of a second, but using the electronic shutter one can go up to 1 / 16,000 of a second, with the advantage of being able to shoot in completely silent mode. For immediate sharing shots it is guaranteed by the Wi-Fi connectivity and app, which also allows remote control of the machine, for selfies distance.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
