The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80HA is a mirrorless camera system featuring a 16-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor without a low-pass filter for enhanced image sharpness and detail fidelity. This kit includes the Lumix Vario 14-140 mm f/3.5-5.6 II lens, which offers a versatile 10x optical zoom range from wide-angle to telephoto perspectives. The camera is equipped with 5-axis Dual Image Stabilization technology that combines body and lens stabilization to effectively counteract shake vibrations, providing up to 5 stops of correction for sharper shots in challenging shooting situations. The 7.6 cm OLED display delivers clear visuals with precise color reproduction, while the live viewfinder with 0.74x magnification (equivalent to 35mm format) allows for accurate framing control. 4K video recording at 30 frames per second enables high-resolution capture, and the 4K Photo function allows for extracting still images from video sequences. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates wireless image transfer and remote control of the camera. The weather-sealed body construction and matching lens design offer increased durability and flexibility for various shooting environments, making this system suitable for travel, outdoor photography, and general photographic applications. The black finish maintains a professional appearance, while the compact mirrorless design provides portability without compromising on features or image quality.

Source: Digitec GalaxusThe small Lumix GX9 achieves the best image quality with its 20-megapixel sensor, while the Lummix G81 has the edge in terms of features thanks to splash water protection and longer battery life, among other things. It also scores points for speed with longer raw series.
A lot of equipment for comparatively little money, that is ? once again ? Panasonic's recipe for success. Just like its little sister, the G70, which we rated as great value for money in our test in issue 09/15, the new Lumix G81 comes up trumps with a really competitive price. For around 900 euros recommended retail price, you get a camera with high-quality, useful and innovative features that definitely...
The Canon EOS M5 delivers high-quality shots, is easy to use and is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. But the Panasonic Lumix G81 can do almost everything a little better, it is noticeably faster in continuous shooting and records videos in 4K instead of just Full HD.
A successful mix: the Panasonic Lumix G81 feels good in the hand, is protected from rain and dust with a suitable lens and delivers photos and video in high quality. The G81 reacts quickly in continuous shooting, but the autofocus sometimes misses the mark with fast-moving subjects.
Compared to the G70, the G81 is less angular, but has a larger grip. Another new feature is the viewfinder with power-saving function: it switches off and the display remains off when the eye moves away from the viewfinder. This extends the battery life. In testing, the G81 shone with its fast autofocus, quick series and good image quality.
