Title: Superbly versatile M43 camera with IBIS
Review: I’ll begin by clarifying that I am a hobbyist seeking an entry-level, accessible option for starting out with photography. After doing a bunch of research I decided to order the G85 bundled with a 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens.From the get-go you can tell this is a well-built product. They used magnesium alloy plating in the top and front to counteract ‘shutter shock’ in this model’s predecessor, the G7, along with high quality plastic throughout. The grip is coated in quality rubber and feels very comfortable. Weather sealing (on the kit lens too!) is a great touch.I find the ergonomics of this camera to be intuitive and comfortable. The dials are useful, easy to use yet hard to accidentally toggle. The buttons feel nice and clicky, with a sensitive shutter button. I also love the viewfinder; extremely clear and no issue for someone with glasses like myself. The touch screen fully articulates and is also clear. Menu system works well and navigation is a breeze. On the software end, however, the wifi functions are finicky; transferring photos to my iPhone 14 Pro is a trial-and-error process with the Image App, which struggles to even establish a connection.I find the 12-60 kit lens to have good clarity compared to others I’ve tried, with a very useful zoom range of 24-120 FFE, and reasonably fast aperture. The OIS and IBIS work in tandem to make camera shake in video and photo modes a non-issue, no gimbal or tripod needed. I found the autofocus to be sluggish in low light conditions especially during 4k recording, though in well-lit areas it’s faster for photography and well-workable. Manage focus properly and invest in some quality glass and you have an amazing camera for the price.In summary, this is a great camera for beginners as well as experienced photographers. The flaws are minor in comparison to the ergonomics, build quality, features, amazing price and picture quality. This camera can tackle many types of photography along with videos and grow with you.

Title: Everything I expected
Review: 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 like the two custom modes on the dial to quickly access my often used settings.* The ergonomics and hand comfort are good. Controls can be reached without straining my fingers. I can carry the camera and kit lens without a strap, and not feel any noticeable discomfort.* It can reliably and quickly focus under low light and tricky conditions. Better than my old DSLR.* The image stabilization is outstanding. It allows for almost effortless hand holding at normal focal lengths, and reasonably feasible hand holding at 300mm and longer focal lengths.* The image quality is very good, better than my old DSLR in terms of dynamic range, sharpness, noise performance. Since I don’t plan on using crazy high ISO, I don’t need a larger sensor, and the compromises of an inferior system.* Did I mention the system? Not only is this camera weather sealed, but Panasonic has a growing number of weather sealed lenses to match. One of the reasons why I didn’t go with the Sony E-mount system. I’m also enjoying the benefits of a 600mm-equivalent tele lens that isn’t ridiculously bulky and heavy.* It actually has a built in flash. Since I don’t plan on limiting my self to an indoor studio, and don’t plan to lug around a bulky external flash, this was a must have feature for me. If Fuji would have thought of such a revolutionary idea, maybe I would be using their camera instead.* It has the video features I need – external mic jack, tilt and swivel screen, peaking, zebra stripes, and manual exposure. Many other mirrorless cameras I looked at were missing one or more of these.* Panasonic has addressed the early problems of stabilization humming and jerky panning with firmware upgrades. I no longer have any serious complaints about the camera, and it shows they take their camera business seriously.* The kit lens is noticeably more capable than most other kit lenses elsewhere. Not only is the zoom range wider and longer, but it’s weather sealed to match the camera body. This is the lens I use most often.Dislikes:* It would have been nice to incorporate a wireless remote shutter release that doesn’t involve a smartphone, like the inexpensive infrared remote on my Nikon D40. Instead I’m forced to buy a more expensive and less convenient cable release.Overall, a very capable camera and system, and priced lower than the competition I looked at. Looking forward to getting a lot of use from this new camera.

Review: Absolutely love the camera and the lens (12-60) that came with it. No complaints at all. I am writing this after using it for a year… Completed 1 year in May. Its good even if you are a beginner as you then will have more room to learn and can use all its features properly once you learn about them.It’s quite feature packed and equally compact and pretty easy to travel with. The 12-60 lens that I got with it is pretty good too and I found it useful for my projects like using it for vlog videos, short films, product films, some photography.Although I am not a professional photographer. So do your research on the lens and the type that would suit yoilur need.Battery life is ok I would say, It’s not bad but not so good at all. I will recommend still keep an extra battery.People talk about its auto focus not being so good, I honestly haven’t used it much and always used manual focus… It dint have issues focusing whenever I did use it but that is something I can’t comment about.I have no complaints about it yet. Quite happy with it.

Review: I am very satisfied with this camera. It’s easy to use and gives you the most clarity images. By the way this is my very first expensive camera I’d ever had. I’m doing a photography course so glad I purchased this camera. I am thinking upgrading to a much more advanced. But I have to make sure I have to purchase same as what I have now. Because I have already three lenses. Make sure I don’t have to purchase any more lenses.

Review: Upgraded from the G7 – thank you Amazon! The G7 was no slouch but this model completes the package. Camera has everything I’m looking – swing out screen, excellent ergonomics, weather sealed, built-in stabilization, great menu system and more! Build quality is superb and feels great in my hands. Just the right size and weight – perfect balance. There are a host of advanced features that make this my go-to camera. All easily accessible via a multitude of external buttons. Menus are clear and easy to navigate and learning curve is small. I was up and running in no time. My only complaint is the buttons are too flush with the body and the 4/3 sensor size. Wish this camera had the APS-C sensor but photo quality is still excellent. Colours are great, very life like and not overly saturated. The 12-60 lens is also very good. Perfect size, nice build quality. The zoom ring is comfortable and super smooth an optics are excellent indeed. It’s the perfect size and weight for this camera is also weather sealed! 12-60 covers a lot of ground. 35mm equivalent would be 24mm to 120mm which is outstanding coverage. The lens is also stabilized and works beautifully in harmony with the stabilized body! I can hand hold camera with very low shutter speeds with low iso and get excellent photos. Highly recommend!

Review: I wanted to purchase the new Lumix G9 but the listed price and no kit lens made me look another direction. The G85 sincerely is the next best option. And now that I have been playing with it for a few days I am thrilled to have it in my possession. With the 12-60 kit lens that came with it I have been amazed at the quality of the photos. The camera itself has a huge learning curve as it seems there is nothing that it cannot do. Thankfully I am familiar with Panasonic menus and have been able to set it up easily to my preferences. It is an amazing camera and I wish I had bought one a long time ago as it is a delight to take photos and videos with. Now the fun task of collecting the lenses I will need. It meets all my needs at this point in time.
