Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7 Review
Panasonic’s latest flagship mirrorless, the GX7 brings the first in-camera stabilization system to the Lumix mirrorless family. This camera boasts an impressive tilting EVF with Eye-Start sensor a whopping 2.8 megapixels of resolution, something unmatched by any digital camera to date. This lets the GX7 show a crisp and clear view of the world and making it, in most cases, even more usable than a traditional optical viewfinder.
Neocamera just published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7. The review details the capabilities of this 16 megapixels Micro Four-Thirds camera and shows that it is one of the most feature-rich mirrorless on the market. As always, great attention is paid to usability and a gallery of full-resolution images at all ISO sensitivities accompanies the review. Read on to find out more.
ePHOTOzine has published full size ISO and White balance test / sample photos from the new Fujifilm X-A1, Fujifilm’s latest mirrorless camera, it is also the most affordable X-mount mirrorless camera yet, available for around £499 with 16-50mm OIS lens.

If you ever watched Flight of the Concords and wanted to stick together your mobile phone and digital camera, then the Samsung Galaxy NX might be for you, it’s got a large 4.77inch touch screen on the back, runs the latest version of Android, and on the front features the Samsung NX mount, with a 20.3 megapixel APS-C sensor inside. It’s also £1299 with 18-55mm lens, for the same price you could buy the Samsung NX20 (£470 with Wi-Fi), and a Samsung Galaxy S4 sim free (£438, with larger screen, and the ability to make phone calls), and you’d have around £391 left over… which you could spend on some lenses, a second mobile phone, an ipad mini, a laptop, hell, a whole host of things… anyway, I digress. Here’s a roundup of reviews of the Samsung Galaxy NX (I’ve converted them all to % for ease of scoring comparisons):

The Fujifilm X-M1 is the latest mirrorless camera from Fuji, and uses the same X-Mount as the X-Pro1 and X-E1, except this new model is the most compact, and best value for money yet. It is being introduced with a new 27mm lens, as well as a new 16-50mm kit lens. It features the same 16 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, full HD video recording, a 3inch tilting screen, built in flash, and built in Wi-Fi. It will be available at the end of July. More info here.
Pentax has recently announced a number of new Digital SLRs, a new mirrorless camera, as well as an entry level compact, called the Efina. F’ina what? Efina. It’s a historical name from Pentax, and the Efina features a 5x optical zoom lens, and will be available for around £79, although we’d expect that price to drop quite quickly.
New Pentax Digital SLRs – these are both the same model, except one, the K-50 is weather sealed, while the K-500 is not. The K-500 is designed as the family friendly entry level Digital SLR, while the K-50 is the step up (designed to sit above the K-30), with weather sealing. Both feature a 16 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, ISO51200, SR Shake Reduction, and 3inch screen on the back. There’s a Pentax K-500 hands-on preview here. More details on the Pentax K-50 can be found here, and it’ll be available in 120 colour combinations.
The new mirrorless camera from Pentax, is an update to the Pentax Q10, and the new Pentax Q7 features a slightly larger sensor, to give improved image quality, as well as a wider field of view when used with the Pentax Q lenses. The Q7 will also be available in 120 colour combinations. A preview showing the new Pentax Q7 sensor size can be found here.
