DxOMark has just published the results of its in-depth analyses of two Panasonic Camera Sensors, the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70 and Panasonic Lumix DC-GX800.
Equipped with the same sensor as Panasonic’s popular Lumix GH4, the Lumix DC-GX800’s MFT type digital chip paired with Panasonic’s Venus Engine enables a maximum sensitivity setting of ISO 25600. Aimed at beginners, the device is designed with portability and affordability in mind. The GX800 comes with a 3.0-inch, 1.04m-dot touchscreen with a hinge that allows it to be tipped up through 180 degrees for easier selfie-shooting. The Panasonic GX800’s sensor has achieved a respectable overall score of 73 compared with 77 of the GH5’s sensor. It is best suited for use in bright conditions when the sensitivity can be kept low.

Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70 boasts of a massive 30x optical zoom range, including an equivalent wide-angle 24mm through to super-telephoto 720mm focal range. A compact travel camera, it is best suited for travelers who want to avoid the hassle of an interchangeable-lens camera and several large lenses. Similar to the ZS60 this device is fitted with a 1/2.3-inch 20.3Mp high-sensitivity MOS sensor, which combined with the Venus processing engine offers a native ISO 80 to 3200 sensitivity range, expandable upto ISO 6400. The Panasonic ZS70 achieves an overall DxOMark sensor score of 36 points and offers very comparable image quality to its predecessor, albeit with slightly increased resolution.
