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!

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.

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...

For me the Panasonic G85 is about balance and sufficiency. It has traditional DSLR handling, suitably downsized in the M4/3 system for less bulk and weight, yet retaining comfortable button and dial ergonomics.

Pare this with the $200 Viltrox Speadbooster, and you have yourself a the GH5's baby brother. This is hands down the best camera you can buy at this price. If you don't care about the incredible built in stabilization, then just get the G7. But I could rave about this camera all day.

For the price you can't go wrong. B-cam to the GH4. Works great.

Overpriced

Purchase was great . quick delivery. No problems.
