Panasonic has made a name for itself in the past year not only on its solid technologies, but also for offering up very competitive cameras. The Lumix G85 is another great camera, one that gets better if you buy with its 12-60mm kit lens.

Arriving in stores roughly six months after the DMC-GX85 camera was announced, Panasonic's new DMC-G85 slots in just below the now venerable GH-4, to provide a slightly smaller and lighter SLR-styled model for enthusiast photographers and introduce a wealth of handy innovations, including improved...

Everyone, that is, apart from Panasonic. Going by looks alone, the Lumix G85 is practically pedestrian. Dull as dishwater. Distinctly average.

The G85 is Panasonic's mid-level all-arounder. It is very much a refinement of the Panasonic G7 , which is still an impressively-capable camera, but one that does not reach its full potential due to the issue of shutter shock.

First of all...I reeeeeeally wanted to love this camera. I've had mine for a week now and everything is great except...the stabilization causes the video to jerk around when you pan, and there is NO fix for this major issue from Panasonic!

Panasonic's newest addition to their Lumix mirrorless lineup, the Lumix G85 is a Mirco Four Thirds system featuring a 16-Megapixel Live MOS sensor, their new 5-axis image stabilization system, and 4K video capture.

Overall image quality is very good; Low image noise through ISO 3200; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record; Full control over still image and video settings allow for total creative freedom no matter how you shoot; Built-in 5-axis image stabilization allows you to shoot handheld...

Even when shooting with the EVF; the LCD touch screen is active making it very easy to change your touch AF or other features; Higher ISO images are incredibly dull from noise

The quality of the still photos from this camera are superb. The new 5 Axis in camera IS along with lens IS is a great improvement that makes getting great images easier. One downside to this camera is that I wished it had similar button layout as that found on the Lumix GH4.

Compact; Convenient; Durable; Exceeded expectations; Inexpensive

button layout could be better

Purchase was great . quick delivery. No problems.

The new Panasonic G85 is based on a Micro Four Thirds 16MP. The camera offers a brilliant electronic viewfinder based on OLED technology. This viewfinder is very large (0.74x; equivalent to a 35mm film camera with a 50mm lens) and offers a high resolution of 2.36 million RGB dots.
