"The Soul of New Orleans, the Soul of a LUMIX"
By Joseph Linaschke
STORY BEHIND
"New Orleans is without a doubt one of the best cities in the world for street photography. An abundance of color, history, and amazing, welcoming people make for incredible photographic opportunities. The LUMIX GX80/GX85 is the ultimate travel and street photographer's camera, providing professional-level power in a lightweight, compact, and non-intimidating form, and New Orleans was the ultimate city to explore with this new camera."

LUMIX GX80/GX85 HANDS-ON IMPRESSION
Comfort Without Compromise
"In my experience, bigger, bulkier cameras are hard to maneuver on the go and tend to scare people away. Having a compact camera made it easier for me to get up close and personal with the street musicians and artists that make New Orleans so unique.
Even with multiple lenses, the GX80/GX85's compact size also made it easy to carry all day, and it wasn't intrusive when shooting street portraits."
Focus on Sharper Shots
"Unsurprisingly, the camera performed beautifully.
One of my favorite features from the GX80/GX85 – or lack thereof – was the absence of an anti-aliasing filter. This made for some of the sharpest photos I’ve ever seen, and the in-camera JPEGs were universally gorgeous.
Typically, when I’m shooting travel and street photography, I don’t want to think about post-processing later, so getting a perfect JPEG out of the camera is my goal. I had no problem doing that with the GX80/GX85."
My Final Thoughts
"In my honest opinion, the Panasonic LUMIX GX80/GX85 is the ultimate travel and street photographer’s camera, providing professional-level power in a lightweight, compact, and non-intimidating form.
Likewise, New Orleans was the ultimate city to explore with this new camera.
