The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 is a compact mirrorless camera with quick autofocus, strong image quality, and 4K video capture.

Built-in 5-axis stabilisation: 3 stops or up to 5 with Dual-IS., 4k video with innovative 4k Photo and Post Focus modes., Crisper images than earlier models with same sensor., Quick AF in low light and best CAF from MFT to date., Tilting touchscreen with lots of touch options.

Viewfinder 16:9 shape not optimal for still 4:3 photos., Viewfinder image may shimmer for some people., No external mic input or CineLike profiles., CAF is improved but not as good as rivals with PDAF., No dedicated drive or AF mode dials / collars., Maximum Bulb time of two minutes.

It is also jam packed with useful features like 5-axis sensor-based image stabilization, 4K video capture, a tilting touchscreen,...
LIke other Panasonic models before it, the Lumix GX85/GX80 packs a lot for its price, including great photos, 4K video and speed.

It delivers excellent photo and video for a Micro Four Thirds camera, especially at its price, plus a great feature set and fast performance.

Because of Parkinson I have a serious tremor in my right arm and hand, and of course I'm right handed. This camera with its wonderful OIS makes my photographs and videos perfectly clear.
