I love my G85

I participated in an Advocate Program on behalf of Panasonic USA. I received product samples as part of my participation. All opinions are my own. I first received my G85 a few months ago and I was really excited to get it out of the box to try it out. I was already shooting with the G7 so I didn't really think there would be much difference between the two cameras. I was wrong... The G85 is a significant jump forward from the G7 not only with image quality but with the camera build as well. There are a few improvements that I really love, like the new placement of the SD card slot on the side of the body rather than underneath with the battery. The internal stabilization is really great to have especially when shooting hand held. I shoot portraits professionally and I use my G85 for about 99% of my work. This camera is so easy to use and easier to carry around than all my other DSLR bodies. The days of Big is Better have long been over in the photography world. With a majority of clients using my work online or social media there is no need for a 100MP camera anymore. I get more than enough image quality with the G85 and I have never had a client as me why I wasn't shooting with a Canon or Nikon (or similar). All in all, the G85 has something for everyone, whether you shoot weddings, corporate headshots, music videos or just regular events fro time. I know I can carry my g85 with me and have everything I need no matter what the circumstance is. I fell in love with Lumix because of the G7 and the G85 has turned me into a Lumix Lifer!

About Panasonic DMC-G85

Panasonic LUMIX G85.

The Panasonic LUMIX G85 offers over 27 LUMIX compact lens options built on the next-generation interchangeable lens camera standard (Micro Four Thirds) pioneered by Panasonic. Its “mirrorless” design enables a lighter, more compact camera body that includes cutting-edge video, audio, creative controls, wireless, intelligent-focusing, gyro sensor control in body image stabilization and exposure technologies not possible with traditional DSLRs.

Overview

Keeps Pace With Your Photography

When life's adventures take you places, you need a camera that keeps up. Photographer Mitchell Kanashkevich took the LUMIX G85 on a journey to Romania. Perfect for outdoor shooting, the Dual Image Stabilizer helped him take crisper, clearer images in difficult and fast-moving environments, while the compact, weather-sealed body and kit lens improved flexibility wherever he went.

5-Axis Gyro Sensor Compensation

With the LUMIX G85, a new gyro sensor increases the image stability compensation power of the 5-Axis Body image stabilization to correct hand-shake for all lenses, including classic lenses not equipped with optical image stabilization.

5-Axis Gyro Sensor Compensation

Dual I.S. Effective To 5 Stops

The LUMIX G85 integrates 5-Axis Dual I.S.2 (Image Stabilizer), combining 5-axis body and 2-axis lens stabilization for more effective handshake correction and compensation for shots up to 5 f-stops. The 5-axis stabilization works in both wide and telephoto photography and motion picture recording, including 4K Video.

4K Photo - Never Miss That Shot

LUMIX-pioneered 4K PHOTO lets you capture the perfect moment by selecting single frames from a 4K video sequence shot at a blistering 30fps to save as individual high-res images.

Extend Your Battery Life

Extend Your Battery Life

Prolong battery life to approximately 800–900* images with a power-saving eye sensor that detects when your eye moves away from the viewfinder and automatically enter Sleep mode.

A Grip On Power

Shoot longer with two batteries — one in the camera, the other in the optional battery grip. The grip also makes handling the camera more comfortable.

Shoot Now, Focus Later

Enjoy the creative freedom of being able to decide what you want in focus, even after you shoot. Exclusive POST FOCUS mode gives you the power to review an image and touch the area you'd like to be pinpoint sharp. What's more, a new Focus Stacking feature lets you easily select several focus points in the same image.

Shutter Shock Reduction

Shutter Shock Reduction

The LUMIX G85 includes a new electromagnetic drive in the shutter unit. The shock caused by movement of the shutter diaphragm is dramatically reduced and the shutter sound is significantly minimized. Together with the use of a new solid magnesium front panel, shutter shock is reduced by approximately 90% compared with the LUMIX G7.

DFD - Ultra High Speed Focusing

Thanks to the DFD (Depth From Defocus) technology that instantly calculates distance to subject by evaluating two images with different sharpness levels, ultra-high-speed AF and 6-fps burst shooting with AFC, and 9-fps burst shooting with AFS is possible.

What You See Is What You Get
  • What You See Is What You Get

The Live View Finder with 0.74X (35mm equiv.) magnification ratio gives you the freedom to frame your shot and capture everything you see. Plus, 2360K-dot high resolution and approximately 100% color reproduction provides high visibility under any circumstances.

  • True-to-Life Detail

The 16-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor with no low pass filter helps capture sharper images with more detail.

  • Impressive Color Reproduction

Shoot true-to-life images with excellent resolution, high contrast and impressive color reproduction. Removing the Low Pass Filter improves quality by approximately 10% while the Venus Engine designed for the LUMIX G85 detects high-frequency components to suppress the generation of moiré. Combining the Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus Engine renders clear images with minimum noise even in low-light situations and a maximum sensitivity of ISO25600.

Life has Never Looked so Good
  • Life has Never Looked so Good
