Lumix GX8 Sample Images

Last week I attended the Lumix Luminary summit and had a chance to shoot the new Lumix GX8 which I wrote about in a previous post titled Lumix Luminary Summit Glancing Back Looking Forward with Lumix GX8. In that post when I spoke about the GX8 I was mainly discussing my excitement with the 4-axis, in-body image stabilization and how well it worked with my Olympus 40-150mm F/2.8 and 1.4X teleconverter attached.

Moonrise over the Gulf of Mexico and the Sarasota Beach, Sarasota, Florida. When I shot this image I had no idea there was a person standing in the water and when I looked at this at 100% it looks like it’s a man and he has his swim trunks off shaking them out. I had no idea he was even there until I processed the picture. Lumix GX8 with 12-35mm F/2.8 6 seconds at F/2.8 ISO 200

I’ve since had a chance to review some of the other images I shot in the very short time I had the camera in my hands and I thought I would share some of those pictures.

Keep in mind that I shot maybe a dozen flight shots and several were perfectly focused, razor sharp. I felt the lens and camera focused extremely well and was exceptionally fast.
