With the compact Panasonic DMC-G81 and the 12-60mm + 200mm lens, you'll take pictures with outstanding image quality. Its weatherproof body makes it perfect for outdoor activities.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G81
The LUMIX DMC-G81 impresses with a variety of advanced technologies and practical features in a robust and compact body.
With the latest cutting-edge technology such as sensor without low-pass filter, Dual I.S. image stabilizer, DFD contrast autofocus, high-resolution 4K photo/video as well as movable touchscreen LCD monitor and large OLED viewfinder, the G81 scores with many detail improvements.
The robust magnesium housing with its numerous direct-access controls is easy to operate and splash-proof and dust-proof.
In addition to 4K videos, the 4K photo function can also record motion sequences and action scenes at 30 fps and 8 MP resolution. With the Post Focus function, the optimally focused photo can be selected from a series of images with different focus. The Focus Stacking function allows to generate a partial or front-to-back sharp photo from multiple frames.
The 5-axis Dual I.S. image stabilizer works even more effectively thanks to a new motion sensor and improved computing algorithms. It can compensate for camera shake up to 5 EV steps.
The 16-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor without low-pass filter, together with the new, specially tuned Venus Engine image processor, promises stunning image quality. With the mechanical shutter, an electromagnetic drive reduces vibration and noise. With silent electronic shutter, the fastest shutter speed is 1/16,000s.
Image control is via a large OLED viewfinder with 2.4 million pixels.
Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm / F3.5-5.6 Asph./Power O.I.S (H-FS12060E).
The LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm consists of 11 lenses in 9 groups. Three aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens allow for a compact design without compromising quality, while minimizing distortion and chromatic aberration.
With its focal length of 24-120mm (KB), the lens is equally suitable for portraits and landscape shots.
Typical of LUMIX, the Power O.I.S. image stabilizer ensures blur-free handheld or low-light shooting. It is also compatible with the GX8's body stabilizer. The dual stabilization (Dual IS) enables even more effective compensation of camera shake.
A fast signal transfer rate of up to 240B/s ensures the fastest response times, especially in combination with the Hybrid Contrast AF of the current LUMIX G cameras. Focusing is achieved via a precise and quiet internal focusing system, driven by a stepper motor.
The LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm/3.5-5.6 is equipped with a solid metal bayonet. Multi-coating of the lens elements ensures high-contrast image reproduction and minimizes reflections or ghosting.
Dust and splash protection make it the ideal companion for the LUMIX GH4 or GX8, even in inhospitable conditions.
Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f2.8 OIS
This particularly compact and fast super-telephoto fixed focal length lens is ideal for wildlife and sports photography. Its dust and splash-proof design as well as the integrated image stabilizer make it a perfect companion for outdoor photography.
Awarded the LEICA name, this exceptional telephoto lens guarantees the high optical and mechanical quality of a top-of-the-line lens.
Despite its long focal length of 400mm (KB), the LEICA DG ELMARIT allows for a very compact design of only about 17cm, while at the same time minimizing camera shake, distortion and chromatic aberration.
An included 1.4x converter expands the application possibilities enormously and brings the focal length to 560mm (KB) at a speed of f4.0.

Die G81 ist eine hochwertige MFT-Kamera. Der elektronische Suche fühlt sich fast wie ein optischer Suche r, sie fokussiert schnell und hat eine wertige Verarbeitung. Ihre vielen Sonder-Features konnte ich noch nicht alle testen, aber auch da bin ich sehr begeistert. Und obwohl sie schwerer und größer ist als manche andere MFT-Kamera, ist sie durch den griffigen Body leicht zu tragen. Sie hat natürlich dafür auch einen stolzen Preis, aber ich bin sehr froh, sie gekauft zu haben und freue mich schon auf lange Fototouren in dem ersten gemeinsamen Urlaub. Allerdings scheint mir derzeit noch der Akkuverbrauch größer als bei meiner EPL7. Doch dies kann ich erst nach längerer Nutzung klar sagen. Doch wenn man auch filmen will oder abends viel mit Blitz arbeitet, sollte man einen Zweitakku in der Tasche haben. Mache ich aber auch bei meinen anderen Kameras so.
