I want to shoot and then minimize editing as much as possible so that’s why I like the G85 so much. I mostly use this for video and I’m very impressed with this camera. I want to shoot and then minimize editing as much as possible so that’s why I like the G85 so much. The 4k video quality with standard un-graded settings is better than the GH4 I replaced this with. The clarity and color is better with the standard settings and I don’t really have time to get lost in post processing. I also compared this to the Sony RX10iii and its 4k video quality was just a tiny bit less detailed but the overall look was better with the G85. Also the menu settings are so much easier with the g85 over the Sony. Also the button placement is much more intuitive with the G85. Auto focus seems about the same but I mainly use manual for video to make sure it stays in focus. Especially because I’m shooting in a controlled environment. I’ll miss the wide focus range but not by that much and I can always buy more lenses with the G85. Another thing is the G85 seems like it has a touch less crop shooting in 4k so I can get a slightly larger angle. That bothers me with all cameras when shooting 4k and I wish I could get the 35mm equivalent of 24mm out of it instead of more like 28mm in 4k. Also it seems that the Pictures were much better with the G85. It seems that whenever I put the RX10iii in auto focus to try to get some kid pics for fun 1 out of 5 pics came out correctly where almost every pic comes out correctly with the G85. For me the f3.5 does a good job but it sure does look better with the f2.8 12-35 lens. I thought my untrained eye might not pick that up but it did. Everything looks better even when comparing f3.5 vs. f3.5. It’s pricey so it might not be for everyone. I also tried the Sony a6300 and it was an amazing camera but it overheated very quickly weather I pulled the monitor away from the body or not. So there was no way I could keep it and that’s a major deal breaker. The G85 can get warm but never get’s so hot that it over heats and shuts down when shooting for extended periods in 4k. I shot for about 4-5 hours in a row shootiing 5-8 minute vids at a quick turn around and it never shut down. It got a little warmer than the GH4 and Sony RX10iii but never malfunctioned so all is well.The one issue I have with the G85 is I wish there was a 4k 30mbps instead of just 4k 100mbps. I shot around 40 5-8 minute videos and it was something like 122Gb. I had to use compression software to keep it which is a bit anoyying. Love the water/dust resistance and that is what kept me from keeping the G7. It also feels like a better made camera than the G7 with a more intuitive layout too.If you are like me, an intermediate, who needs a good camera with 4k for work but doesn’t want to go too deep into the post processing world it’s hard to find a better camera.
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.
Incredible Value, IF You Can Settle For Less Than Cutting Edge. In this day of camera smart-phones, is there still a place for DSLRs?I say yes, if you actually want to take pictures rather than snapshots and if you are willing spend some money and are ready to haul some stuff around to take those pictures. I settled on the Micro 4/3 format because it is the most easily portable DSLR camera, and therefore the most likely to be used by me. I don’t see myself printing larger than 8×10 photos so 16mp is more than enough and overkill for social media. The regular-speed 4K video is more than adequate for and videography I will be doing (invest in a good mike to up your game).A HUGE plus is the fact that this camera and kit lens that cam with it are weather-sealed so I have peace of mind taking it on a hike.I look forward for using 4K pre-burst mode, it is literally a time machine, letting you capture an event up to one second before you push the shutter button! It allows you to follow your child on the field and to get the shots you really want with having to take thousands of pictures.There are trade-offs for not going full-frame sensor (e.g. low-light performance, less depth of field) but the price differential, $697 on sale with a 12-60mm weather proof lens, rather than thousands for the bigger camera? It was a no brainer for me.Great ergonomics, custom setting modes that can be saved to allow up to 4 different set-ups, a very good and versatile kit lens (24-120mm 35mm equivalent focal length) all in a camera that I will take on day hikes.Go on Youtube and watch some videos about what this camera can do. You will see that it is still more than adequate for a hobby-enthusiast. It has rekindled my love of photography. Happy snapping!
Battery charger oddness. I have owned this camera for a couple of weeks. Running it to full discharge on the battery and today the charger started giving a blinking light. I read it could be temperature or dirty contact related. Definitely not overheating so I gently scrubbed the contacts on the charger and the batteries and got a solid green light like normal charging behavior! How could it be that sensitive in so short a time? The need to record an hour and a half at a time consistently is a worry on battery life but that doesn’t explain the change in charging behavior with a little pencil eraser rub. Not much searchable information on this that I found either.
My first camera. This was my first major camera purchase and I couldn’t be happier. I still have a lot to learn to effectively use the camera to its fullest but it’s been great and easy to use.
