Amazing video, Jordan!
The quality is top notch :)
Great review, I just got one of these camera refurbished direct form Panasonic, and am really happy with it.
I think the video looked better than your main camera in this video, colors popped better. Audio did sound hollow, but was doable. Thanks for the video.
Great video Jordan and the gx850 looks nice.
Hey Jordan Great video! Really enjoyed it! Thank You!
I was searching for this kind of review which you setup the camera for doing reviews.
With its current price, I decided to go with this camera.
Great review & Thank you.
Great overview Jordan :)
You're doing great man. I dont know why your video came up in my suggestions and I dont like cameras at all but your way of reviewing it made me stay without any reason. Keep the good work up! :-)
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Cameras aren't an everyday topic for my videos, just occasionally.
the imperfection of this camera has made me to fall in love with it. its my daily camera with other lumix prime lenses.
Thanks Jordan. Very good review! :)
Pana is releasing tones of good gear lately, they must be doing well and testing ideas in the market for future development directions
GX850 is such a cute camera. lol. I think I'll get my hands on one to review. Good video =)
+Jordan Keyes Awesome video👍 You are like a kid in a candy store when you get a new camera 😂😂😂👍
Absolutely!
***** Hahha!! When auto focus is turned off and the internal mic is set at medium volume the video/audio is great on my end.
Great video
Do you know how to set up Aperture in the Aperture mode? I used the dial in Aperture mode but it only changes the exposure. Thanks
Fantastic video Jordan, do you know the differences with the new GX880?
Whats the rest time after the 20 minutes limit on 1080p 60fps is up? to begin recording again?
great video 👍
Hi Jordan. Great review. thanks. Do you possibly know if you can set a function button to got straight to the movie quality sub menu? cause i like to go between 24 and 60 fps a fair bit, but do not want to have to always go into the main menu. Hitting one button would be great. Anyways thanks.
Hmmmmmm the GX850 seems promising. I'm wondering how it stacks up vs the GX85 and G85 in terms of image quality. And is it a lot smaller than the GX85?
thanks for your video that are very helpful. Im traveling often and i need a light and compact camera for street photografy for both photos and videos that can take sharp pictures and video in 1080 60p which camera you recommend Panasonic GX-800 or Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX80. Thank you
Can you use the hdmi out for monitoring in 4k resolution?
Pls give me some ideas. Is LX10 is better or the canon g7x?
I want to know, when you turn on flash and use selfie, does it have the 3 sec count down timing? if have can it be remove? and can 4k photo mode be used in flash? As I want to use it with flash + 4k photo mode. Thanks
Is there a big difference between image quality of m43 and 1 inch sensor?I'm trying to decide between this and zs100 and lx10
Very informative video indeed. Would you consider scaling you comments on different aspects of you choosing, let say 1 to 7 for more nuances ? This way, it would be easier for me to have a better idea on the different items you are showing and comparing. Grazie mille!
Can you livestream using the gx850? with the hdmi port?
Thanks for the information! :) But I have a question: Can you change the shutter speed and apeture manually in video modus or only not the iso?
Only aperture. Program P cirvle cmd up
Stabilization?
Can you use the Olympus thin body lens? Body Cap Lens 15mm
is it a better camera than sony rx100iv?
Jordan and the Chipmunks. Biiit aggressive with the video speed.
Hey there, did you ever find the setting to manually adjust the ISO in video mode? i'm torn between this camera and the G7, but i mainly film in the dark, so it's massively important to be able to manually adjust the ISO?
El ISO no se puede programar en video en la lumix gx850, este utiliza su iso automatico que es bueno pero no para graduarlo manualmente, pero lo que si se puede es usar el boton foto 4k rafaga y ponerlo en S/S asi si podras usar el iso a tu manera pero solo se grabara en 4k a 30 fps y a la ves saldra lo grabado en varias fotos. No podras usar esta opcion por mucho tiempo por que recalienta el sensor,solo podras usarlo para hacer tomas cortas o varias tomas cortas en video pero con reposo.
Si quisieras manejar el iso te recomiendo de esas dos la lumix G7
Jordan, do you use IA or do you manually set all your camera settings? If so, could you do a video on it. Or, at least least them. I LOVE the clarity you get and can't seem to reach it myself. Thanks. I'm speaking primarily about the G7.
I've done a lot of testing and tweaking with the G7. For this video I was using the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens (not the kit lens that's included). I usually film at aperture f/1.7, shutter speed 100 or 125 (since I do 1080p 60fps) and ISO 200-400, depending on how bright my lighting is.
I've recently gone back and forth using the 12-32 Panasonic lens (not the G7 kit lens, but the lens that comes with the GX850) and its f/3.5 at the widest, so I've been doing f/3.5, 100 shutter speed, and 400 ISO mostly.
Thanks. What about Natural, Vivid, Portrait, etc. setting?
Sorry, forgot about that! Just the Standard picture setting for me.
Thanks again.
The LX100 for roughly the same price point a way better camera (mainly also because of the lense but also the software (manually set the ISO also in video mode and no 20 mins video restriction).
Biggest flaw of that camera is the non titltable screen.
Though it can be used for vlogging as I do that pretty regulary by setting it to manual focus turn the camera around so the lense faces me. Hit the back button for focussing and hit record (yes I memorized the button positions to do this pretty fast).
I used the LX100 as a daily vlogging camera for a little while. You're absolutely right, it's a great camera. Looks like it's $150 more for it right now, and the non-movable screen bugged me.
Does this camera have the same soft shutter as the GX85? Im NOT talking about the electronic shutter but the real one.. If it has an old cheap shutter-shocky shutter it is not a camera for me..
What light setup are you using? I'd love to replicate your quality for my own channel!
3 LED light panels. I go over my whole filming setup in this video: ua-cam.com/video/SANjwGIZObs/v-deo.html
Main thing that's changed, instead of using a ring light, I switched to another LED panel.
I actually want a Sony A5000 because its slightly larger than the GX850 but also has a swappable lens, also far better than my phone for street photography :D
Hi Jordan! I'm having a really hard time making a decision between just getting a flagship phone to record my youtube videos or just sticking with my samsung s6 and buying a separate dedicated camera for my videos. I personally have no issues with my phone so the upgrade to a flagship phone isn't really too necessary. Just wondering whether the differences between the flagship phones right now and their cameras will be noticeable. Also.. is there any particular camera you'd recommend under 500 dollars? thanks in advance!
Have you started making videos yet? From what I remember, the Galaxy S6 can record 4k video (or 1080p60), which is a great place to start, just have to deal with storage limitations, but even then, you've probably got a microSD card slot you could save videos to.
Thanks so much for the response Jordan! I'm still curious though, how are something like an s9 that can shoot 4k at 60 fps different from the g7 which can only shoot 4k upto 30 fps? the numbers lead me to believe that the s9 is better but that can't be right, right? Hope you could clear out this confusion of mine
Press the Trashcan button and rotate the Dpad, you will then have more options in manual and set ISO.
I like the look of the Panasonic cameras, what do you think of the look, with the silver accents?
I love it. That's why I went with the "Silver" instead of the "Black". I like a little splash of color.
Great video, but I have to ask. What is on the sensor?
aps-c
micro 4/3
Concerning video with this camera, it's better to think of 4k Photo mode as "4k 30fps Video mode" with full manual features that everyone expects. It has the benefit of changing aspect ratios too (not many cameras do that). This camera is still a sleeper in 2022.
haha, before watching this video, i couldn't make up my mind which compact should I go for.. after watching this video, it seem I have bigger problem. I may need 2 cameras..
My friend is using this camera panasonic gx850 and I really like the video.coz it never.makes me lookong fat like most cameras. I vlog and I am really thinking of vlogging camera. Pls give me some ideas.
what? I didn't know it had a recording limit :(
like speed of.your talking, not too fast nor slow, informative
Does this camera have a manual video mode, allowing one to choose Shutter Speed, Aperture, and ISO?
Unfortunately no. There's no dedicated video mode at all, and if you have the camera set to "Manual" mode, it still will auto-adjust some settings (ISO, at least) to try to make sure you get a good image.
Thanks. This is what I expected with this series. Do you know if it has an exposure lock button? Does it work after pressing the video record button? This would allow the camera to have some sort of setting to dial in the exposure.
Ooh, that actually works. I remapped one of the Fn buttons to AE Lock, and turned on "AF/AE Lock Hold", and that seems to do the trick. It's not manual control, but if you can get the exposure where you want it and hit the button to hold it there, seems to do the trick.
I picked up a variable ND filter for my lens, so technically I can set the AE lock then use the fader to get manual control over it.
Sorry, to bring back John's question, not to clear for me yet. Putting ISO aside, will I be able to set the Shutter speed for video and will the camera respect that? at least after pressing the exposure lock button? Also, not a mirrorless user so far, been doing video with Canon for a while, and this will be like an extra body mostly for getting to know this system but also to throw a 4k video every once in a while, so would you recommend this one or the G7?
Panasonic has dumb-downed this camera's video mode with no manual exposure in video. You'll be fighting it to get (with the exposure lock) the shutter and aperture to behave. If it's size you want, I'd go for the GX85- otherwise, go for the G7.
why micro sd :((
The new camera is really good, but your regular camera has a sharper image of quality. I’m no expert but the 1st camera is a bit better
I think the GM5 is a better choice for $450 on eBay. You get good video and a viewfinder so you can see what the image will look like when its taken.
Just Use ZOOM F1 for Audio on the Go!
I've been seriously considering a Zoom F1, but haven't gone for it yet. Also thought about a Tascam DR-10L. Either way, it's another piece of gear to carry.
Canon EOS M100 or GX850 ?
for 1080p60, probably the M100. the GX850 has some horrible autofocus noise, and Panasonic's traditional autofocus hunting issues that Canon most likely won't. If you're using an external recorder and don't mind the autofocusing issues, and want 4k (though limited to 5 minutes at a time) the GX850 is alright.
I m already a Panasonic G7 User and need a Camera to make 2 to 3 mins videos while I travel, I use MonoPod or selfie stick with stand to make videos like at Airport or Hotel, I answer Tech Questions thats is my content for UA-cam so I can't carry the G7 with me due to size
Enjoyed the video.......but not "teeny tiny". I guess that is a fav term of yours.
lol, good point. Need to work on my vocabulary this year!
Jordan Keyes I am used to "teeny tiny" being the FPV cams that are popular with my RC group now days. Didn't mean to be sarcastic.
Wait a sec... no 1080p24??
What kind of sd card?? A Micro??
Yes, it takes a microSD card.
yes micro
It also lacks slow motion video capability.
Very good point! I haven't found myself using slow motion for the style of videos I do, but if you render at 24fps, you could always film 1080p60 and slow it down smoothly in post.
***** Yea 60fps will be quite ok for slow motion videos but at least 120fps is ideal for a smooth slow motion video. Even smartphones can film at 240fps. Maybe they will integrate slow motion video in a future update. Also only 5 min 4k video is very limiting in 2017.
GX85 have stabilization and GX850 no ? wtf
couldn't fit it in. GF7 and 8 didn't have it either.
Unfortunately you are mistaken about the whole manual ISO that get's ignored by the camera: There is NO way to shoot video at a specific f-stop, shutterspeed or ISO.
Yes, the camera let's you make settings for all this... for example shutterspeed or f-stop, BUT once you press the record button and the video gets recorded, the camera simply films fully automatic in whatever setting it likes to. It does not simply ignore your manual ISO, but also your shutter and f-stop.
This is a HUGE drawback in my opinion and makes it pretty much useless for any semi-professional video work. The ONLY thing you CAN actually set is EV.... so you can over or underexpose... but you CAN NOT film at a specific f-stop, shutter or ISO. Simply not possible. These settings are only active for photography.
In video, the camera simply does whatever it wants.
Very bad move from Panasonic actually.
hi
Great video but when I compared this video with your review of LX10… I couldn’t help
but think you were not very honest with us… I know… I like very much Panasonics cameras too and it is very hard to me to say bad words about it’s products but… let’s be frank GX800/850 for video purposes… is just disaster…
Lets first thing first… it is absolutely brilliant camera for pictures. There is strong competition on this field however so Panasonic decided to add flippable touchscreen and 4K capability…
Now. You actually said almost nothing about 4K. Let me do it. Panasonic claims you can take 5 min of 4K recording… pipe dream…. Yes, to be frank… it is possible … just once a while. When camera is a bit warm recording time is shortened sometime to even 1 min… Example: I did just some pictures in 4k Mode for 5 seconds and then decided to take footage, camera allowed me to do 1 minute and 32 seconds… It gets switched off so often that your vexation getting through roof… I really had temptation to crash it on the wall. Hold On! You can switch to HD!!! Then you discover you can’t because of noise from Continuous AF… I’m talking about camera with flipped touch screen so I guess designed among others for video enthusiasts… I mean for example vlogers… Camera which doesn't cost dirt money…
I bought DX 800 (European version DX850) straight after launch and sent it back very next day…
Again: I like Panasonic, I love my G7 and like my LX15 (which also records video with kind of noise but it is not from AF, I comes from inside, tasted 3 of them and in the end gave up and decided to live with it, it is not as loud as in GX800) and I really were looked forward GX 800. For one who is curious my sample from GX800 with noise is here:
ua-cam.com/video/IIl_JFskyGA/v-deo.html
Forgot to add. Noise from AF wasn't there when use 4K video mode... very strange. I tried my gx800 with different lenses, nothing changed. So lets add it up. This camera is quiet when use 4K which you can't use bacause of overheating and has HD mode which you can't use because of noise... sweet :( It doesn't change my adoration to G7 though :)
I don't believe I was dishonest in this video. I didn't go in-depth about 4k because I don't usually film in 4k, and so I haven't experimented much with it in that way yet. Thanks for pointing out that the AF noise is better in 4k, btw! It's still there, but much quieter.
I definitely said during the video that it's not a great camera for vloggers, but if you're willing to turn off continuous autofocus or use an external mic, the video quality looks excellent. For the price (I paid $500 for my G7) I think the G7 is a much better alternative, but considering the size, I still think this camera can be a great second, or even main, camera.
Well, I think I expressed myself a bit wrong, I’m sorry. Saying You were not very honest I meant that on the video You looked like someone who want to say something else and hesitate about it.
But it could be just my impression backed by my bad experience with this camera.
Anyway, great video and nice comparison with g7.
I agree with you that it is great camera but I stand with my opinion that it is useless for video despite excellent video picture quality. I can’t imagine to run vlog or take family video with such noise in the background. (Switching AF off when filming running child is not an option.. is it?)
I believe Panasonic will take lesson and next model will be better. If so, it be hard to find anything better.
Thanks for your videos, I really think you do great job. :)
You're absolutely right, for daily vlogging or family videos, the GX850 is definitely not the best option. I think I mentioned that in the video, but I can't remember at the moment. :)
I use the Panasonic LX10 for that style of video, and it's excellent. It's got an f/1.4 aperture at the widest, flip out screen, up to 15 mins of 4k at a time, and continuous autofocus, without the grinding noise the GX850 has.
I had a GX850 but ultimately ends up exchanging it for an LX10, which I'm still using. I found that the grinding noise got into the audio not only from the autofocus, but also if I turned the autofocus off and had the stabilization on. I could probably use it with the single focus setting if I had to, but I wasn't going to use it without stabilization. Other than the kit lens, I don't own any of the others you use. I did try the 14 - 140 lens on the GX850 (which is a huge lens for this camera), and I didn't hear the lens noise in the camera.
I also found that the button presses got into the audio of this camera more than they do with the LX10. I agree with you that the LX10 would be better for some kind of everyday or vlogging use.
