Pack this Panasonic LUMIX DSLM camera in your bag, and take incredible shots of all your trips. The slender, lightweight design allows easy transport for point-and-shoot adventures, and the included 12-60mm lens lets you focus on all the details. This Panasonic LUMIX DSLM camera has 5-axis image stabilization for sharp images.

There are a lot of 5-star reviews here, but I wanted to write why I only gave this a 4-star review.
It's not that this isn't a well-rounded camera. It has a fast shutter (fps), in body image stabilization and 4-K video. For most users, this will be a great camera.
Here is the downside, the micro 4:3 sensor leaves little room for cropping within the image and lesser low-light capabilities. Now this is in comparison with my full-frame camera, which costs twice as much. But that full-frame camera weighs twice as much, is bulkier, slower shuttered and, as stated before, a lot more expensive.
The limitations of micro 4:3 means you have to invest in lenses, especially zooms, to compensate for the lack of cropping ability. The good news is that Panasonic, Olympus and some third-party makers have created a stable full of great glass. And, like the camera, they are smaller, lighter and less expensive than full-frame and APSC camera lenses.
So, this is why I only give the camera 4-stars. But like I said, most people can buy this camera in full confidence that it will provide them great shots for standard images for either social media or medium-size (8x11) prints.
