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.
