Description

Panasonic calls this the new ultimate hybrid mirrorless camera.

Pros:

  • Excellent combination of both still and video features
  • Fairly lightweight but still sturdy
  • Unlimited continuous video recording (does not have the 30 minute max length of many other cameras).

Cons:

  • Autofocus not as good as Sony and Canon competitors. Video autofocus sometimes wobbles when tracking focus.
