I think there is something more satisfying about learning how to do more with less than always wanting the best - it’s a mentally exhausting upgrade cycle - and probably - we’re not gonna make better content because we have the latest camera - we’ll just get a small high and have less money in the bank
Nice video Nigel! I am still using my G7. Big fan of its picture quality.
The g7 is small and lightweight with nice colors. If you can handle no IBIS, it’s a nice small kit.
Your reviews constantly inspire me!
I have a G80 and a G9 mk1. I find the G80 a noticeably smaller and lighter camera with great 1080/60 autofocus. 4k autofocus is not good so either use the focus ring or press the AF/AE LOCK button to focus in manual. Unfortunately the AF/AE button has a relatively loud click in this camera so in quiet environments I touch the AF box in bottom right of the rear screen or move the square focusing brackets to where I want focus.. For colour popping video I use Natural colour profile with the addition of -2 shadow in Highlight Shadow on page 3/6 in the menu. Anyone interested who has a G80 or G9 should try this setting because the results are amazing. 🙂. Thanks for uploading a great video, keep them coming 👌
I use the exact camera G85 and I love it. Lightweight, fun and intuitive little camera!
Everything about this video is so good, dude.
Still have my G85 -- it's a great camera, mainly shot 1080p, mixing in footage and photos from my phone, and my other bridge super zooms cameras -- using Davinci for upscaling, mixing audio -- photography is all about what you do with all your gear and how you mix it all together, not about a single camera.
that half cab heel made me happy
G85 for the win! Still using it to this day🙌
Thank you for the beautiful story. I use GH3 and GH5s. And my favorite camera for photo walks is Olympus pl1 with an Industar 69, 28 2.8 lens. But with other small cameras like the GH5, Nigel, you talked about the particular importance of a good folashdie. Why is this so important, can you explain?
Never used the G85, but I still use the GH5 for UA-cam and client work. Totally agree with the power of a tiny setup. I rig out my camera for client work but go small for UA-cam.
This was so fun to watch. Love the music choices as well!
AWESOME video!!! I owned a G85 for five years and I regret selling it. It's small, has inexpensive lenses, it's got fantastic 4k video quality, fantastic ibis for video, awesome battery life... I even took awesome landscape photos with it. Now I have a Sony A7c with the small 24mm G lens which fulfills my small camera wants EXCEPT for good video IBIS. I use Resolve's stabilization on most clips (which is really amazing btw), but I kinda miss the Lumix m4/3 system. You're inspiring me to pick up a newer one like the G9II which has PDAF and NO CROP for 60 or 120fps! Plus awesome gimbal-like IBIS for video.
I haven't had the pleasure of using a G85, but I loooooove my GX85... awesome video, doc!
I did a bunch of tests with the GX85 and G85 together, and the image output is identical (if you’re using the NATURAL profile, GX85 doesn’t have CINELIKE D)😊
Great video as always! GX80 user here...I agree 100% ;)
I had to sell all my Lumix gear as I needed a FF camera for one project, but oh boy I do miss it a lot. I had GH3, GH4, GH5 and GH5 II. The 4:3 default aspect ratio for photos is amazing. And the best camera I used in the last years was definitely the GH5 II - this is the full package. GH6 sucked for photos because of lower DR, but GH5 II is amazing and for video it's just perfect.
I use my G80 with vintage primes and I struggle to get proper focus will be getting a field monitor soon
The AFC mode works great on the g9 if you “select” your face. It tracks pretty well.
Sempre com muita qualidade, Nigel!
I used to get an amazing image out of the g7 when i would tweak the color settings..man when i got the money im gonna pick up one of the old m43
i still work with the g85 and it is awesome, i rigged ir and if you combine it with ronin stabs it comes with amazing results
I'm using a wee GF2 that has been modded and isn't too far off the GH3. Not as small as the old OM10 but I can still use some of the old OM lenses.
Having some serious g85 nostalgic vibes…god I miss that camera
great video!
I've got the gx version, and I haven't learnt no where near what it can do. Its handy, does a good job for the road of experimenting. Plus i think half the battle is lense choice, which often can cost as much as the body.
You know, with the G9 the pulsing goes away with any of the sigma f/1.4 primes! It might work for the G85 too!!
Thanks! i'll try this out with my Sigma 16mm MFT mount
@@Passion_Video_and_Photo a gent named john harvey here on YT did a lot of testing with the G9 and 16/30/56 f/1.4 lenses, all with great results, drop a comment with your results and camera model, I'd be very curious to see which models it also works with. Good luck!
Sett the focus response to slowest and stop using anything below f2.8 and pulsing goes away.
@@SMGJohn The G9 and other non GH models mostly dont have the focus response setting afaik.
Not only you made an eye-pleasing video that makes me kinda re-question my choice to go with the A6100 instead of the G85, but also you sent hella nice back smith stall 270 out and bs boardslide fakie 50:50! Made me wanna go skate so much.
Use the a6100 to its fullest , with its better handling in high-iso ,better dynamic range and 6k oversampling
I have a similar setup with a GH6 and 14mm f/2.5. I am interested in knowing will you be upgrading to the GH7 anytime soon? I think I might wait a year or two for a nice price drop.
i still keep using my G6 for videos and fotos on vacations xD
I think the best camera is the camera that you want to use, and have with you at interesting moments. For a lot of viewers, camera specs are important, but rarely I focus on the amount of mp or lowlight capability's when I see a picture.
Hey, have you still got the Panasonic G6? It's still great for stills and video 😊
Just changed my mind from trading mine in! Gotta use it more often now cuz I haven’t been! Thanks to you!
You got a sub from me. I've watched like 10 of your videos today just trying to research m43 cams/ vid gear lol Literally have a gh5 and i was looking into the g85 as ell
I do blunt to fakies exactly the same. Instead of popping right out I kind of manual down. Still rad though!
I'm low key stoked you noticed that!
I still use the GX850 with a small tripod.
do you find the samyang 35-150 parafocal? i ve seen people saying it isnt true parafocal, whats your opinion on this mate?
what's your take on g85 vs gx85? I am wanting to pick up a small m43 camera to be my always on me camera and a possible C cam for my S5 and S5iix I mainly use for paid work. I like the really compact size of the gx85 but everywhere I look its more pricey
I still use the UK/euro version, the G80 😁👍
I just got my first mirrioless camera the sony a5100 after using insta 360 x2and 3 i wanted to switch it up and get something not everyone uses i also had a sony vx1000 never should have gotten rid of it 4 years ago
I have a G85, but I'd like to get a G9 or a GH5, or even a G95.
Ja all of those cams are much better in everything. I own a gh5 which is the reason why i dont use my g85 anymore. Its night and day.
I can wholeheartedly recommend the g9. An amazing hybrid camera.
the title alone made me want to buy a g7 again..that was my first ever camera
GH1 photographer here
💯
With a g85 you will notice that autofocus is ok but in 4k it is unusuable. How bad it is? Its ten time worse than gh5 autofocus which you can use in af mode if you know what U are doing.
SMALL CAMERAS ARE THE BEST!!!!!
Привіт з України!
Як завжди , вайбове і надихаюче відео. Камера це унікальний інструмент який допомагає тобі розкрити свій потенціал і втілити свої ідеї. Люблю камери Lumix і Olympus - сиджу на micro 4/3)))
I have one but I haven’t maximized its potential..
The G85 is not that old.
Love the G85, it has its limits but if know them, you can get pretty good results out of it! great example is your video it’s looks so good specially the colours! 🫶🏼🙌🏽
