    This camera paired up with the Lumix 25mm 1.7 prime is perfect. With the right settings you can even shoot street photography at night. Great video for a great little camera.

  • @m43user
    @m43user 11 місяців тому +4

    Hey Grant, I totally agree. The G85 with the 12-60mm kit lens is my newest and best setup. I find the photos technically way better than my Canon APS-C DSLRs. The sharpness, colors, metering, dynamic range, are all pristine. But for some reason the photos don't have as much personality or pizzazz. I think some of the flaws of the older kit can actually add something that a technically perfect camera doesn't replicate. But I still love the G85 and am glad I picked one up in 2023 for an amazing price brand new. I watched one of your reviews to finalise my decision to get it, and I always know it will take great photos with minimal effort. Any editing recommendations for adding some fun, flavor and personality to photos of family outings and backyard antics?

  • @dpollock333
    @dpollock333 5 місяців тому +1

    I have two of these and use them all the time. I love them for many of the reasons you gave, but also because I can shoot video as long as my battery and card can hold out, without worrying about the camera timing itself out at 29 minutes.

  • @raizt1596
    @raizt1596 3 дні тому +1

    I've had this camera for a few years. My biggest gripe is the autofocus. Sony cameras lock the autofocus perfectly on you and never seem to go fuzzy. The G85 loses autofocus when shooting moving video.

  • @toddwmac
    @toddwmac 3 місяці тому +1

    Great to see this vid and can't agree more. I've loved the G85 since it was launched but I've not kept up with how it has "aged". Great to hear they are keeping a good thing going and nice to hear comments on lenses. I'm running a bunch of Cannon glass using an adapter with decent results, but it is time to get some dedicated optics. Thanks for posting.

    G9 is my current primary camera and LOOOOVE it.
    However I had the G85 before I purchased my G9. Used the G85 mainly for video and it worked like a champ filming 120 video for the US Coast guard.
    It didn't miss a beat while filming in challenging conditions on carriers, gas rigs, chemical ships, in hulls of ships etc.
    Now I have passed it on to my daughter as she starts her photography journey in HS.

    True! I still grab my G85 a surprisingly high percentage of time. I like being able to switch between photo and video instantly for one thing. The dials, switches and buttons strike the right balance for me - and I just know the camera, which is a major asset.

    • @EricWortman

    Had been investigating cameras, light that can do video, too. Looked at the G7 and will be going with this one, the G85 from your recommendation. One of my hats in the past was a semi pro photographer, particulary in the pre digital age. Now I'm not wanting to haul around all the weight of my old camera systems and have been wanting to take a camera on the road for more control with my photos and video, too. Thank you!

  • @davidpelham4861
    @davidpelham4861 5 місяців тому +1

    I love my G85, and have the 12-60, 45-175, and 100-400 lenses. I also have an adapter that allows me to use my Leica prime lenses from my film Leicas. I do more still than videos, but love having the high quality video options at my fingertips! The only complaint would be that the viewfinder being in the center puts my nose on the touch screen which moves the focus point sometimes. This has cost me a few good shots, but if I don't need the screen for other reasons, i can flip it around. I do that a lot for wildlife shots.

    Hey Grant, great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Like yourself, I really enjoy my Panasonic G85 - most of the time. The majority of our videos are shot in 1920 X 1080 at 60fps and this is a good combo for us, - when I have my settings done correctly. Most of our videos are shot outside on-the-fly "Running and gunning" and I'm still trying to figure out what to leave on "auto" and what to leave on "manual." The G85 is for me, a large step upward yet also a very steep learning curve. Could you please mention where you like to have your video settings on the G85 when your running and gunning? There are several excellent videos on static settings for the G85, for bloggers and other stationary video, but I can't find anything on run and gun settings concerning Mode, ISO, AF, Light Meter settings, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as there is so much misinformation that so many of us have wasted our time on. Thanks for your hard work and cheers from across the pond!

I am considering purchasing a Panasonic G85 with a kit lens that comes with it from Amazon and I have a good lighting set-up and camera mount, but my existing old camera is not picking up coloured pencils very well, particularly Col-erase pencils unless I dig in to the A4- A3 paper
