Panasonic G85 Review | Watch Before You Buy 

You missed one important point why get G85, unlimited length video recording.

Don't listen to this fella...The G85 is a bloody good stills camera..

4k live crop makes amazing b-roll with that option. it's still hard to beat this camera. I have a g9 and getting a g85 for night street photography. Gotta like the weather sealing too!! Panasonic still upgrading warranty to 3 years too. Autofocus is not that bad if you choose single area.

I disagree. I am a university professor and for educational purposes I use this camera for all my pre-recorded lectures either indoors at home or indoors in a university building or outdoors. Does what I need with a lavilier microphone or shotgun microphone. My only complaints: no headphone monitor, the microphone in cable and the flippy screen get in the way of each other, and that Panasonic has not expended the effort to make it a compatible webcam straight into a computer. Also, given that my other camera is not weather sealed and I have 7 mft lenses, I use the G80/G85 for photography outdoors when the weather is not the best.

Bought one 3 weeks ago.. love it! bought a 2nd today for my webcam/B-roll. Need some glass for them.. i picked up the 25mm and 30mm macro. of course ill have two 12-60mm

Great video as always. I got an old Sony HX400V camera just so I practice and learn the basic then I will probably move on to newer models. I always learn new stuffs from your videos which helps me a lot with shooting.

I had a G7, GH4 and S5 Excited for G85 now!

G7 and G85 are my workhorse as a videography hobbyist. they are definitely the perfect beginner cameras for me as they are so easy to understand. They are relatively cheap yet capable, also while I mentioned that it's a great beginner's camera, it does not hold your hand entirely. It will still force you to learn your craft due to it's limitations.

*I have 2 Panasonics. The First One being the G7 and This One being My Second. I Love the 5 Access Stabilizer and I love the Video Quality it Gives But you are correct It does have a Slow Auto focus when doing and type of Close up as it does tend to hunt slightly but doesn't bother me as I usually can Cut that out Post Edit but Weather Sealed means living in Alaska I can use this in the cold. It's My Main Camera with my G7 as a Back-up. Nice Review *

I absolutely love this camera. Very user-friendly, intuitive controls, worls great with my old OM vintage lenses, and takes fantastic images at a great price point. Often prefer it over the S5, and its great for wildlife. I think were in the realm of "everything gets better" and we miss a gem when we see it, because something else is "better".

Thanks bro. Greatings from Chile. Good videos Well, you so clearly voice to my conscience... So much time to looking for a camera in my step ahead. But is the G85 a still good camera for fotography?

That was a joke, I have the M50 and G85 as well as the G9. If you know how to use the G85 it's a beast, no record limit awesome 4k and so good on battery life. My M50's 4k is 90% unusable, can't use it in the rain, record limits. That was so painful to watch, there is nothing wrong with the Lumix colours!!!

I was waiting for this dude.Thanks for the perfect review.Loved it😃😃 Can you please do a video on the things to consider on buying a second hand camera

Wonderful video especially comparing it with the M50

is there any different on this model between de USA and International version?

I got this camera on Monday and I was surprised with the 4k and 1080p recording capability. At the time I purchased this the price was a bit expensive but I think it's the best camera for under 1000 dollars. After doing some testing I figured the best focus setting for me was face tracking (not the one point) The 49 point I alright for focusing on a general area and is kinda fast but not as fast as the face tracking. I did some tests focusing on random objects with face tracking and the focus sensitivity at +2 and its focuses in under 2 seconds every time. All in all, I'm pretty impressed with this and since it has 4k and CineLikeD it's kinda future proof.

Hey man, if you can, could you do a review of the Nikon Z 50?

Incredible production

Thanks for the review! Still torn m50 or this!!

One crucial thing he didn't mention: the G85 has 4K and 1080p unlimited recording time, which will be very useful for podcasts, events and seminars.

thanks for the detailed review :) im looking for a panasonic camera and dont know what to buy. mostly for videography with 4k 24 and/ or fhd 60. ultimatly ok for me. im chosing between the gh2(hacked), gh3, gh4, g7 and this one. anyone any recommendations? so i will be new in the game also. anyone thinks that its maybe better to get a cheaper one like the gh2/3 to start? thanks for any answer!

Hi there is it possible for you to do a review on the lumix g95? I would like to know if the v-log profile is good to use professionally along with its 20mp sensor. The same sensor as the gh5

I love my G85 doing livestream for indoor sports, would appreciate any feedback for highest quality output. Greatest video by the way ✊🏾

You should review the GH5/GH5S

Hello what camera are you using to shoot this video.... Picture is crisp.... Will be happy to know

Invest in the leica lenses because the field of view is slightly larger than the standard cheaper lenses - and in 4K you need as much FOV as it’s already slightly cropped

Panasonic always despite of little bad autofocus system❤️❤️

Thanks for this review, it helped me to keep looking. Can you tell me if the almost 7 years old Samsung G30 worthy for educational blogging? I can get one for $400.

I film a lot of 4x4 and camping videos. So what is being filmed is often moving pretty quick. I don’t know much about cameras because I’m knew to all of this. Would you suggest the Panasonic G85 or the Canon m50?

You're really good I watched your video on the M50 and now I'm watching you on the Panasonic g85 and I'm really stuck between both I like to g85 that is weatherproof to me I think that's really ideal I just don't know what to do thanks for sharing

Thinking about taking this camera hunting. Looking for a good camera that does decent for video.

You are trying to force peoples to buy Canon M50... When i was googling M50 it was a forum where they was talking bad about M50... Personally i was recommended to buy Sony camera

no i just sold my canon 200d II and bought G85, because of videos straight out of the camera just better than the Canon. too dreamy for my taste

i love panasonic

Hello, The G7 blocks the monitor out during recording. Does G85 the same?

Hi there! I just wanted to ask you that should I buy Nikon d3500 dual lens kit or the d5600 single lens kit or the canon sl3 because all these cameras come under my budget . My main purpose is photography. Love your videos as always ❤️

Awesome video, quick question. Can I put some canon lenses on it, would that work?

i like this machine and will buy it

Looking to creat a multi camera podcast set up, does this camera have clean HDMI? Also is there a record limit? I have a canon m50 which is a great camera but doesn’t have clean HDMI and has a record limit

have a g85 in the mail now. I've had a cannon for awhile- and though I like it- I want the 4k and the ability to art my video a bit more.

should i get a canon camera m50 mark ii ?

Wow, this was my first camera

What's the record limits on M50 vs Panasonic Lumix g85 ?

I swear to god, this is the biggest coincident of my life... I want to buy the panasonic g85, but no one had put a proper review.. and I thought no one would cuz its old.. and guess what I saw on RU-vid next..Thanks so much for amazing content

Just got me one and it's a lot better than my phone, wich costs 3 times as much. I know this is a starter camera, but it will be more than enough for my job

Lumix G85 or Fuji XT200 for an amateur who mostly does stills but also wants to occasionally shoot good quality video?

A respectful reminder : THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND WORDS on mu previous comments I made on your videos. They mean a lot to me but I am not nice. It's you! yeah, you heard me right. Because you are nice by yourself and somehow, you find that quality in others as well. My questions will be: -A guide for sony a7 mark iii. -Best settings for the pictures and kinda things. -As everyone comments that the colour science of sony is miserable, but a7 mark iii still manages to be a professional gear so, how to get amazing pics with it? -What lenses are the best for this camera? I am currently using 55mm f1.8 and it's considered to be the sharpest ever... -A small description of all the picture profile and vice versa and as I am a beginner and I never understand it. Actually, everything ;) I'll be waiting for the requested video! Stay blessed and Thank you!

That’s crazy. I was just looking at this. I went with the G95 tho. I shoot stills with M4/3

Regarding this camera’s photographic capabilities, this reviewer does not know what he is talking about. In the early 2000’s I remember studio portrait photographers raving about their 10 megapixel images printed at 20 x 30 inches . And I remember being thoroughly impressed when looking at those prints. It is not the pixel quantity so much as the skill of the person using the camera. It is a tool, and like all tools, it has limitations. Know them to your advantage. On the other hand, the commentary on video capabilities of the G85 is helpful.

What should I go for, for filmmaking? Canon m50ii or Lumix g85?

Hi I have a question should I buy the nihon d5300 or d3500 Pls reply

first coment. love your videos

i am a beginner at photo shooting which type of camera do you suggest me please

Vloggers don't need the stabilization.....wait ...what?

What about lumix GH5

Would this be a good first camera if I wanted to film surfing?

if' i'm shooting my kid's football games and getting mediocre results from my cellphone would this be an upgrade?

How's video stabilization without Gimbel?

The colors and the autofocus made it a deal breaker for me, but I am a noob in working with video. Canon has the best colors hands down. I also tried the Canon M50, but it lacked too many features.

Canon Fanboy speaking here! ; )

What is the best camera for beginners?

What if I can snag it for $300 now? Seems like a no-brainer even with the downsides mentioned.

I think this knob missed the whole point of this camera being priced as an entry/mid level camera. This review is of zero help.

changodio.... dretewa bought one soon...

Not sure if I want this or the g9

This is not a DSLR, is a mirrorless and Sony a7 III is not a DSLR either, they are mirrorless, you have to understand the difference.

G85 is a great camera

Is it better than Fujifilm xt200?

Is this camera great enough for Streetphotography ?

(1:36) You do realize, the point of this camera is for photography, video is bonus feature, and you suggested not choosing it for it’s intended purpose, why... Because the sensor size. Like as if you are stating micro four thirds cameras are inadequate for photos. - Curious.... That’s like saying don’t buy a Mazda Miata roadster if you like to drive, the car is too small... BTW, the dead give away who this camera is intended for; It has a built in flash, but no headphone jack... Also, (5:32) 4K live crop, can be found on the ZS80, ZS100, GX80/81/85, all released in the same year 2016, also GH5 and G9 in 2017, plus the GH5S the following year 2018. Once you look past those couple of missteps, the video is not half bad. I obviously watched... .

G95 vs M50?

is it better than A6400?

So basically in a nutshell this camera actually sucks you won't get very far with it! I mean you started off already pointing out the bad in this and it's halfway through the video and you're still not done with it so that sums it up.

Do you think it's better than Sony a 6400?

Well, your intro is kind a insulting :D

Don't listen to this dude! He clearly lacks research.

Fyi. Panasonic G85 is the Successor to the Lumix G7

My $500 DJI Pocket 2 cam looks better than 2k Panasonic S5

Not enamoured by this RU-vidr. Shows definite biases in reviews

Hindi bol liya kr bhai agreji bolte huye bahut ganda lgta hai😂

this so BS

Dear god another smart phone masquerading as a camera

Yeah Panasonic colors suck
