The GM5 has been awarded ‘Best CSC Advanced’, the DMC-LX100 took out ‘Best Photo/Video Camera Expert’ and the DMC-FT6 was named ‘Best Rugged Camera’.
LUMIX DMC-GM5 for ‘Best CSC Advanced’
“Measuring a mere 59.5mm high by 98.5mm wide, the 211g Panasonic DMC-GM5 is a very compact and highly portable Micro Four-Thirds CSC. The camera’s Live View finder has 100% coverage and contains 1.16M RGB dots; its Digital Live View MOS Sensor deliver 16MP. For connectivity, the user can simply scan the QR code displayed on the camera monitor with a smartphone or tablet and use either as a remote controller. The camera delivers JPEG and RAW stills or AVCHD or MP4 video. It has all the standard exposure modes plus a full complement of metering patterns, plus an ISO range 0f 200-25,600 (video: ISO 200 to 3200). The impressive shutter speed range is 60 seconds to 1/16,000 of a second. ” – TIPA jury spokesperson
LUMIX DMC-LX100 for ‘Best Photo/Video Camera Expert’
“For enthusiasts who want both a quality still and video camera, the LX100 has a 12.8MP 4/3-inch High-Sensitivity MOS sensor, and the ability to record 4K video. The LX100 has an integral 24-75mm (equivalent) f/1.7-2.8 Leica DC Vario-Summilux lens and numerous control and exposure dials that allow for complete control over imaging, including the ability to deliver 11 frames per second full-resolution images. The video side is quite impressive, with the ability to record Full HD 1920 x 1080 AVCHD Progressive or MP4 at 60p, or 4K 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps. Panasonic has proposed what they dub “4K Photo,” grabbing an 8MB still image from the 4K video footage. Other features include WiFi and NFC connectivity and RAW+JPEG format choice. ” – TIPA jury spokesperson
LUMIX DMC-FT6 for ‘Best Rugged Camera’
