Panasonic’s new step up interchangeable lens camera.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BootCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.    It’s called the Lumix GX85…Panasonic’s new rangefinder style camera..loaded with impressive features.   It has improved image stabilization, important especially when you use a telephoto lens…a viewfinder along with a tilting touch enabled screen, shoots 4K video and stills and has a very solid feel.   Beyond that, Panasonic’s Sean Robinson says the camera’s WiFi connection is greatly simplified …

“Once you enable the WiFi on the camera it pops up with a link to connect to… iPhone, Android, they all connect direct into it without having to do anything else.  All of your selections, from shooting the camera…so controlling everything from ISO, aperture, shutter speed, creative controls…all the way to transferring full resolution JPEGs from the camera to your phone.”

The price…with a kit lens…is about 800 dollars.   You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
