Lumix GX8 RAW files = High Dynamic Range
4

It's surprising to me that this little camera hasn't received the attention it deserves. Working with the sliders on its RAW files in Lightroom shows the GX8 captures light with great dynamic range. Here are some samples from a recent photoshoot. I show how the GX8's RAW files can really be pushed to the limits with satisfactory results. (Lens used was the Lumix 14mm prime)

Do you think it's the new improved 20mp sensor?

Would like to think I will be able to pull the same types of dynamic range from a gx85.

Hi jhunna,

I'm sorry for the late reply. I think the GX8's 20mp sensor has a lot to do with the great dynamic range. As for the GX85, I can only assume that it would have similar, if not better, dynamic range since it is newer technology. Have you been able to process the RAW files from the GX85 yet?

Cheers
