There is something about taking a picture in incandescent light, hand held at f5.1 iso 12,800, with an unstabilized $99 Olympus 40-150mm lens that is remarkable. This camera raw image was opened in Photoshop but is unretouched.
@Vesku Of course, My 12-35mm f2.8 firmware is v 1.3(latest version). 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S needs 1.3 lens firmware.
Anyway, Thanks Vitaliy and Vesku.
Is your 12-35mm f2.8 firmaware updated to latest? There was jitter problems with first FW versions.
Some Panasonic POWER OIS lenses seem to add micro jittering to video image. Have looked jitter discussion in lens section:

You can just get another body in shop and made same thing, Make sure that it is not caused by hands.
Hello, I'm a new GX8 user in Korea.
I did GX8 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S test with 12-35mm lens a week ago and got this shaky recording.
Recording setting : 1080P (24P), MTS, 12-35mm HD lens, 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S ON, handheld.
Panasonic Korea says, "This shaky is normal in wide angle about 12-25mm range and Other GX8 has same result.
Therefore we can't fix this.
Even more other HD lens like 14-140mm lens, GX8 has same shaky result with it in wide angle."
How do you think about this?
Is it normal? Is it same result with your GX8 in wide range?
I wonder if sensor shift stabilisation would work with canon lenses on electronic adapter...
One of the most immediate differences between the GX8 and its predecessor, is the size. Obvious as soon as you pull it out of the box, it is larger and heavier in the hand. But, aren’t Mirrorless Cameras supposed to be ridiculously tiny? No, no they’re not. They CAN be, and that is cool, but we’re way beyond the need to under-compensate for our larger than average genitalia by carrying around the smallest cameras available.
Im very happy with the GX8.
Shots were taken by 6:30 in the morning with some clouds and dim light.
The absolute best color that Panasonic has ever delivered out of the camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8 outputs high quality images. The 20 megapixels Four-Thirds CMOS sensor is paired with a speedy Venus Engine which offers 11 levels of noise-reduction. Dialing down from the default to -3 produces the optimal balance between details and noise. This allows the maximum GX8 resolution to be used up to ISO 800 where noise is barely noticeable.
