Panasonic LUMIX G85 4K Digital Camera, 12-60mm Power O.I.S. Lens, 16 Megapixel Mirrorless Camera, 5 Axis in-Body Dual Image Stabilization, 3-Inch Tilt and Touch LCD, DMC-G85MK (Black)

One of the best value camera out there. Hands down.For current users, I highly suggest to do the following: Go to menu --> Setup --> beep (page 2) --> Turn off the beep volume and E shutter volumeThis was a huge annoyance for me at first, and I was relieved to find it in the settings.Battery saving options are also within the page 2 of setup such as Live View Mode (30fps), Monitor Luminance, and Economy.Pros:Stills quality is very nice and sharp, even from the 12-60mm kit lens. Image quality and bokeh are stunning when paired with the 25mm f1.7. The dual IS is really good for stills and even m

The Panasonic G85 was my first mirrorless camera after years of using a Nikon D40 DSLR. I wanted a camera that's good for photography and video, and the G85 has lived up to my expectations. Not only is the camera good, but I also like the well developed ecosystem of lenses and accessories, which continues to grow and improve.Likes:* The controls are intuitive and responsive, with many switches and buttons to quickly access the setting I need, and there's a lot of ways to customize the controls to my preference. The touch screen further augments the physical controls, and I use it often. I also

In this day of camera smart-phones, is there still a place for DSLRs?I say yes, if you actually want to take pictures rather than snapshots and if you are willing spend some money and are ready to haul some stuff around to take those pictures. I settled on the Micro 4/3 format because it is the most easily portable DSLR camera, and therefore the most likely to be used by me. I don't see myself printing larger than 8x10 photos so 16mp is more than enough and overkill for social media. The regular-speed 4K video is more than adequate for and videography I will be doing (invest in a good mike to

I mostly use this for video and I'm very impressed with this camera. I want to shoot and then minimize editing as much as possible so that's why I like the G85 so much. The 4k video quality with standard un-graded settings is better than the GH4 I replaced this with. The clarity and color is better with the standard settings and I don't really have time to get lost in post processing. I also compared this to the Sony RX10iii and its 4k video quality was just a tiny bit less detailed but the overall look was better with the G85. Also the menu settings are so much easier with the g85 over the So

Coming from heavy, bulky, noisy, expensive Nikon gear, I came to appreciate the many advantages of MFT mirrorless gear, and in particular, Panasonic MFT cameras and many of the lenses offered by Panasonic, Sigma, Tokina, Olympus, and several other makers. Among the several Panasonic bodies I've owned, my favorite had become the G7 (the predecessor to the G85) for its light weight, compactness, handling and grip, the many controls and their placement, and its customization options available. With some feature-upgrades (added IBIS, improved EVF, a metal front-plate, better mechanical shutter [al

I have been thinking of buying the OMD EM1 Mark 2. I am an enthusiast and take pictures of my family and for travel. Many years ago, I sold my Canon bodies/lenses to get into Micro 4/3’s. Like many, my investment in film lenses led me to Canon bodies in the electronic world. However, it became clear to me that the electronic world offered new opportunities as the technology improved. It looked like Micro 4/3 sensors would be the sweet spot for most photography in this new world. My first 4/3’s camera was a Panasonic. I loved it.Later I upgraded to the OMD EM5 Mark 2 for the better-quality sens

I've been a huge photography nut for a few years now, but had been holding on to film for as long as possible. With that in mind, this camera has done an exceptional job at filling a spot I didn't know I needed to address! I love being able to have a camera that I can take on trips- it's weatherproofed and ruggedized body inspires lots of confidence, even if people are bumping into you. I also feel like it's a "cheap enough looking" camera, that people won't take notice like if you're traveling with a full frame DSLR/SLR.Pros:Takes unbelievably good quality photos - Even though it's a 16MP sen

I bought the G85 to supplement/mostly replace my old D3300. In most respects it's a step up. I primarily needed a camera with better video. The D3300 was and still is an outstanding entry level DSLR for still photography, but it's very underwhelming for video, which what I find myself doing more off these days. The video autofocus on the D3300 is borderline unusable, it hunts relentlessly. When picking out a new camera. I was looking at the Cannon 80D (no 4k video), the 90D (very nice, but comparatively expensive), the Nikon Z50 (very good AF, but the lack of lens selection and the cost of the
