Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G85MK 4K Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera Kit, 12-60mm Lens, 16 Megapixel (Black) by Panasonic

One of the best value camera out there. Hands down. For current users, I highly suggest to do the following: Go to menu --> Setup --> beep (page 2) --> Turn off the beep volume and E shutter volume This was a huge annoyance for me at first, and I was relieved to find it in the settings. Battery saving options are also within the page 2 of setup such as Live View Mode (30fps), Monitor Luminance, and Economy. Pros: Stills quality is very nice and sharp, even from the 12-60mm kit lens. Image quality and bokeh are stunning when paired with the 25mm f1.7. The dual IS is really good for stills and even more amazing in video. Two custom settings within the dial are really helpful for saving your own shooting modes. I personally save Shutter-priority video moves to these in different recording formats (i.e. 4k30fps, FHD60fps). There are also plenty of fn buttons to customize. There are also color profiles to shoot in that may be customized. I find that the "Natural" profile to be the most pleasing in video. There is also Cine-D for those wanting a flatter look or for grading. Weather sealed - Not much to say here other than, great! Coming from a Nikon APSC camera, I am amazed at how light and robust the mirrorless form factor is. There is little fatigue in carrying it in your hands all day. The LCD screen that allows a full swivel is really neat for selfies/vlogging. Finally... the video. Most buyers are probably here b/c of this and yes... it does not disappoint. The detail is amazing! BUT, the real shocker is the image stabilization. When paired w/ dual IS and E-stabilization turned on, the video is practically gliding (especially @ wider angles - 12mm). I am not joking. Walking with the camera is buttery smooth, no jittery videos. Cons: It's only up to 16MP stills, though I still find the image quality to be very good even when an image has been cropped in edits. I found that the image is a bit noisy at higher iso (6400 and above), though this is not really a bother to me. I find that it gives it a natural feel to lowlight shots. You can always dial it down with a bit of NR in Lightroom and other software. A slight crop to the 4k video recording. This was not a con for me, but others may think it. There's a lot to learn w/in the settings of this camera. Take the time to read the advanced handbook. Experiment! In summary, I highly recommend this. If you are on the fence, JUMP OVER!

Absolutely love the camera and the lens (12-60) that came with it. No complaints at all. I am writing this after using it for a year... Completed 1 year in May. Its good even if you are a beginner as you then will have more room to learn and can use all its features properly once you learn about them. It's quite feature packed and equally compact and pretty easy to travel with. The 12-60 lens that I got with it is pretty good too and I found it useful for my projects like using it for vlog videos, short films, product films, some photography. Although I am not a professional photographer. So do your research on the lens and the type that would suit yoilur need. Battery life is ok I would say, It's not bad but not so good at all. I will recommend still keep an extra battery. People talk about its auto focus not being so good, I honestly haven't used it much and always used manual focus... It dint have issues focusing whenever I did use it but that is something I can't comment about. I have no complaints about it yet. Quite happy with it.

I am very satisfied with this camera. It's easy to use and gives you the most clarity images. By the way this is my very first expensive camera I'd ever had. I'm doing a photography course so glad I purchased this camera. I am thinking upgrading to a much more advanced. But I have to make sure I have to purchase same as what I have now. Because I have already three lenses. Make sure I don't have to purchase any more lenses.

Es una cámara muy buena en relación calidad y precio, con un buen lente puedes hacer videos muy aceptables, estoy satisfecho con la compra.

Upgraded from the G7 - thank you Amazon! The G7 was no slouch but this model completes the package. Camera has everything I'm looking - swing out screen, excellent ergonomics, weather sealed, built-in stabilization, great menu system and more! Build quality is superb and feels great in my hands. Just the right size and weight - perfect balance. There are a host of advanced features that make this my go-to camera. All easily accessible via a multitude of external buttons. Menus are clear and easy to navigate and learning curve is small. I was up and running in no time. My only complaint is the buttons are too flush with the body and the 4/3 sensor size. Wish this camera had the APS-C sensor but photo quality is still excellent. Colours are great, very life like and not overly saturated. The 12-60 lens is also very good. Perfect size, nice build quality. The zoom ring is comfortable and super smooth an optics are excellent indeed. It's the perfect size and weight for this camera is also weather sealed! 12-60 covers a lot of ground. 35mm equivalent would be 24mm to 120mm which is outstanding coverage. The lens is also stabilized and works beautifully in harmony with the stabilized body! I can hand hold camera with very low shutter speeds with low iso and get excellent photos. Highly recommend!
