What’s going on everyone. Rome here to talk to you about a new camera I just picked up. Well, it’s not really new. It’s actually a 7 year old camera.
This is the Panasonic Lumix G85. If you were outside of the US it would be called the G80.
It’s a mirrorless camera that uses a Micro four-thirds sensor. I’m not gonna get into the different sensor sizes in this video, I might make a separate one talk about that, but for now, what this basically means is that it is a crop sensor as opposed to a full-frame sensor. And we’ll get to more about this later.
So why did I buy a 7 year old camera in 2023? I’ve been wanting to upgrade my content to 4K for a while now. I do use an iPhone 13 Pro and a GoPro for any 4k content now, but I wanted to be able to use different lenses and have more manual control over my shooting settings. And there were several reasons I chose this camera over others. So let’s get into that.

Love my G85, and I've been Canon only since 1983!
For what the Panasonic LUMIX G85 is and offers, it is the best prosumer camera in its price category-and more. And the autofocus thing that has become a chant among CZcamsrs is very usable, if you knew that filmmaking is more than just swinging your camera from one subject to another in random motion.
I'm about to buy a g85 as my first camera and this video has helped quite a lot, thanks man
Enjoy your new camera!
Well done review! I am getting this as a training wheels platform, then the G9....and lastly the G9 ii that recently came out.
me too got this same camera last year....
I had a G85 with the nice LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm F/2.8 II Aspherical Power O.I.S. Lens around 5-6 years ago. I was trying to vlog and capture my baby daughter's movement. I loved how smooth the footage would be without a gimbal and how small the camera was. But what ultimately turned me away to return it was the autofocus. So many moments missed because of the autofocus. I went back to Canon 80D and then onto Canon M50 (2018) when it was released, and switched to Sony with the A7S III in 2021. Great video and demonstrations, keep up the great work Rome!
Thanks for the encouraging words. The Canons are nice as well. Was my second choice. Sonys are still out of reach for me, but hopefully soon.
Very informative. Thank you so much . Great video
Glad it was helpful!
I love my G85! It came out in 2016 and is still being sold new by retailers. Sure, there's vastly superior cameras, even within the Lumix range but at a jump in cost to match. There's still much to love about the G85: weather sealing, unlimited 4K recording, stabilisation, articulating touch screen, built in wifi for app control, mic port etc... it's a versatile little allrounder and still good value for money in my view.
Yea I’m loving it so far! Everything you’ve said is so true. Love your channel, 2 of my favorite things, drones and NZ!
I use the European version (G80) and I love it! I have a good range of lenses however I tend to use the 14-45 kit lens with it for most things. It really is a brilliant camera! Nice review.
Thank you! I’m looking to add to my lenses too! Not sure if I should get a zoom or prime next!
I'm still using this camera. May be will upgrade to G9 ii later
Yea, it’s a great camera. The G9 looks like a very nice upgrade from it.
maybe you want to make sure you have to latest firmware, sometimes they improve the autofocus algorithm
Where can I buy the original USB port that came with it I can’t find it anywhere online
Do you mean usb cable? If so, you can find them on Amazon. Just search for micro-b usb cable
What is your ND filter rating? I was told to use ND16 for video
I guess it would depend on your lighting and shot settings. You can use a variable nd filter as well.
for general use is a g85 with 14-140 or a Pentax k70 with 18-135 better?
@@frankiefalci8735 I’m not familiar with the Pentax, but it looks like a good camera. It’s a comparison between a mirrorless in the G85, and a dslr with the Pentax. Prices seem comparable. You’ll have more lens options with the M4/3 G85 than the APS-C Pentax. For me it was the video capabilities of the Panasonic that I went with. Whatever you choose, take some great pictures and have fun!
