Panasonic Lumix GX7 first thoughts and links

The mirrorless market is the hottest in the camera market with many people moving from their big digital SLR cameras to the smaller form factor with the same options to be able to exchange lenses and have great picture quality.

Today (1. August 2013) Panasonic introduced the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7, which has been rumored for the last couple of weeks. Panasonic is big in the mirrorless market, but is still behind Sony who is the current leader. One of the great things about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 is that is uses the Micro Four Thirds format, which has been lenses available, so it makes a great system choice.

The best thing about the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 is in my mind the live view finder that is a part of the body to keep it small, but at the same time makes it possible to shoot pictures like you do with your digital SLR camera.
