In an effort to simplify its line-up of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, Panasonic recently assigned the “GX” prefix to all its flat-topped models. While it was once possible to decipher the target audience from the prefix itself, we now have to look at how many digits follow the prefix: one is used for the flagship (GX?), two for the mid-range model (GX??) and three for the entry-level model (GX???).

Sony a6500 vs. Fujifilm X-T2 – The complete comparison
Updated on: March 6th, 2019
I was tempted to begin this comparison by calling it “the ultimate mirrorless APS-C camera battle” but there is an expiry date on the validity of such a statement in this dynamic market. Rumours (via FujiRumors) about a high-end APS-C model from Fujifilm abound, while with Sony – well, with Sony we can’t never be sure of anything, can’t we? But future products, news and rumours aside, I am sure that the X-T2 and a6500 will remain near the top of the food chain for quite some time to come.
Sony a6300 vs Fujifilm X-Pro2 – Image Quality and Autofocus comparison
Updated on: July 20th, 2018
There are many differences between the Sony a6300 and the Fujifilm X-Pro2 but two of the most important characteristics – image quality and autofocus – actually behave in a similar manner. Both cameras inaugurated the two most recent APS-C sensors that have since been implemented on other products such as the X-T20, X-T2 and a6500 respectively, and their autofocus systems are among the best I’ve had the chance to use. So even though the price, build quality, additional features and target users are all different, there is actually a valid reason to compare these two cameras!
Sony a6300 vs a6500 – The complete comparison
Updated on: June 10, 2017
Sometimes two cameras are so similar that choosing between them becomes an almost impossible task, especially if the two products come from the same brand and series and were released only 6 months apart.
The Sony a6300 and a6500 are two such cameras. On the outside, they look identical. On the inside, the implementation of 5-axis stabilisation and other features could easily lead you to think that the a6500 is worth the extra money. But following our real world tests, we’ve come to a different conclusion as you’ll discover in the following comparison.
Olympus Pen F vs. Panasonic Lumix GX8 – Quick 20MP sensor comparison
The very first Micro Four Thirds camera to receive a 20MP sensor was the Panasonic Lumix GX8. Announced back in July 2015, we knew it was only a matter of time before Olympus released a 20MP sensor camera of its own.
Instead of choosing to debut the new sensor on one of the high-end OM-D cameras, Olympus opted to give it the Pen F, the latest model in the Pen line-up. We highly suspect that it is the same Sony 20MP MFT sensor used inside the GX8, although pigs will fly before rival companies openly admit to using the same technology!
