The way this video moves forward with the music, without any irrelevant garbage, is almost trippy. I'm vibing.
Especially at 2:37, the juxtaposed faces are inducing me kind of trance.😂 The look on your face is golden, it's like telling me "here it is, the video comparision between these cameras. Nothing more, nothing less."
Damn i sound crazy tho...
Just bought gx85 last week. I am really grateful for choosing gx85 over gx9 after watching this video. Thanks.
Thank you for the test. The better dynamic range on the GX9 sealed the deal for me.
Great video!
Thank you for this video. Side by side comparison is the best.
Thanks Mathieu!!! I think most people came here for the same answer: "Should i upgrade to GX9 from GX85?" and, for me, the answer is no... not with the GX9 at this price point. BUT it is a little better indeed, specially DR and AF. But this 4k crop... bahhhh
That the GX9 has a 1.26 crop for 4k video compared to the 1.1 crop on the GX85 is a deal breaker and I was so close to upgrading my GX85. That turns a 24mm equiv lens into a 30mm. No thanks!
Mathieu and Heather - Thanks for this painstaking comparison. Your efforts are appreciated. Although the GX9 appears to have better contrast than the GX85, the two cameras are virtually identical in every aspect that I'm concerned with. Your video convinces me that I should stick with my GX85.
Faster Follow focus in video seems to be the best improvement of the GX9 vs GX80/85 !!
Thanks for comparison.. This is the best comparison between GX85 vs GX9 I have seen..
GX9 is superior in every where: more natural color (glass and sky), more pleasing skin tone, more detail in picture, more DR, and VDO AF..
1.1 vs 1.26 crop views seem very similar to me, just half footstep difference (unlike 1.7 of Canon)..
Again, thanks for great review (as always)..
That's weird, because I have to say that I generally prefer the gx85. It has a brighter, easier to see imagine that is more impressive. I feel like these two cameras is like picking between a Pioneer plasma tv or Sony LCD TV in 2009. Gx9 would be the plasma. Someone in the comments mentioned the gx9 got updates.......if that is true, they surely could have updated the gx8 too. Right now in Feb. of 2021, you can get the GX85 with a 26-45 lens and a 45 -150mm lens for $600 and a 64 gig memory card and cleaning kit and travel bag or you can get the GX9 for $700 with a 26-60mm lens, travel bag, and 64gig card.... the gx85 brought me to want this camera because I really love some video shot with it on youtube, and it is smaller and I am not so sure that the gx9 would have done the same, but I can see that internally, gx9 is a better camera. It is a tough decision. I do like real, and I picked that LCD, but I always realized I made the wrong decision.
@@HollywoodCreeper I think these cameras are very close. Take 5 images each, mix them up, and I bet even the most discriminating observer would have a hard time distinguishing between the two as long as there were no consistent differences (say, one camera's pictures always darker, and even then, some would guess the wrong camera produced the dark output!). Autofocus are two exceptions -- the GX9 kick behind in that department. The GX85 seemed to kick behind in IBIS, though. The GX85 can produce amazing video in the right hands... I assume the G9 can as well, but I hope the IBIS in the GX9 is at least as good as the GX85.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, the future of documentary storytelling lies in the technology of IN-BODY STABILIZATION (IBIS). Above dynamic range, iso performance, global shutter, raw, high bitrate, and motorized gimbals. The importance of keeping the storyteller light, nimble and ninja-like trumps any other feature a film making manufacturer could create."
~Nicholas Lam
same here) @@HollywoodCreeper
the dynamic range of the gx9 seems quite superior. especially noticeable in the window scene and in the waves in the water at the ibis comparison
Yes it retains more details in the highlights.
video in the Gx9 looks darker in low light areas. Is it my impression or is it true?
The Panasonic gx9 is warm color, on the other hand Panasonic gx85 is cool color that's what I see in this comparison but I think gx9 is slightly better than gx85
Agree!
Not sure ; ) Really!? Stop at 3:32, for instance...
The river in the stabilization test looks a lot better on the GX9.
I had the GX85 and changed to the GX9. I have processed several thousand photographs in Lightroom from both models and definitely prefer the GX9. The main reason is the increase from 16 to 20 mp images which are cleaner with the GX9, particularly if I need to crop the image. There are just more pixels to work with. I don’t use video so that is not an issue for me. The GX9 is my main travel camera with the 12 to 32 lens, the 35 to 100 and the superb 15mm f1.7 leica/lumix lens. I no longer travel with my Canon 5D iii.
So many times I thought of buying one of these recent Panasonic mirrorless cameras, watched videos like this and was amazed by the 4K image quality. But every time I change my mind once the autofocus test starts :-)
Sameeeeeee
GX85 seems sharper and best video stabilization. Thanks. Not going for the GX9.
Can`t see a lot of difference in IQ between both cams. Maybe the AF is a little bit better in the GX9, but as a non videographer ... i dont care. I bought my GX85 brandnew with the kitlens for 450€ quit..if the price for the GX9 drops down on the same price, ill just grab it. But now i stuck with the GX85, and i`m happy with it.
Yep right now the GX85 is a great bang for the money.
better VIDEO AF! but GX85 is enough goodbody.
Excellent comparison. Want to upgrade but the GX9's 1.25 vs GX85's 1.1 crop factor kills it. That's a terrible decision by Panasonic.
Why the water in distance including light reflection looks so different around 3:35 from the two? GX85's doesn't look right.
the light was changing constantly when recording those shots.
The crop on my Nikon camera is so much worse for video takes a 24mm lens on full frame to 43mm or so with the crop its insane how high of a crop. 1080p is workable with no crop but 4k not being usable is real tragic.
Very good. TO me the 9 has a clear upperhand in this fight! Gx 85 & 7 owner here.
GX9 is a bit better in terms of IQ, but it's not worth the asking price. Not by a long shot. It's really a GX90, rather than a GX9. No weather sealing, to start. I'm very happy with my GX85 and don't lust after the GX9 at all, I must admit. I was able to deploy Cinelike-D using an exploit and I'm very happy shooting both pictures and video with it. I've been using it professionally since I got it at launch and don't regret it. Best bang for the buck, I think. At the very least, it's the camera that best suits my needs.
I do wish Olympus would release an EM-5 III with dual card slots and 4K video. If they do that, I'm sold.
Is the Cine-Like D exploit on the GX85 via the smartphone app? Does it work still?
I sent you a DM via Twitter with all the information. It works great with mine, but I did it as soon as it came out. Still got the files needed, though.
The GX85 IBIS is better and it has less of a 4K video crop. I still wish Panasonic would put a GH5 in a GX8 camera body.
Why is GX85 Ibis better ?
The GX9 has more noise. The GX85 blows out highlights more. I prefer the GX85, which I can dial down a bit to preserve highlights when needed.
Nice work!!. Very easy to see the difference side by side.
What firmware are on GX85?
Just wonder if the autofocus could have been improved to those days.
1.3 seems to be the last one. No AF update so far, and I don't think there will be any.
Excellent comparison, thank you.
its a real wonderful comparision. thank u
Hi Mathieu!
I appreciate the videos and your channel - thanks!
Are you based in the UK as I a lot of the locations in the clips seem familiar (Aberdovey in this video for instance)?
Yes I live in Wales and you're correct, it's Aberdyfi in the video.
you make the best fuji review and now tht lumix cameras great job
thanks!
@@MathieuGasquetMirrorLessons I watched almost all your Fuji reviews it seems the Fuji has the best warm colours so my question is can I get those same colours with a photo editor (using another brand camera) thanks in advance
Nice video, and have one GX85 at my house
Thanks ! For me the biggest issue with the gx85 is it's high light bad capability. Shinny skins and sky are often burned. Your vid seems to show that it's a little bit better whith the gx9. How about a comparison between gx85 and g9 ?
The GX9 seems to have inherited the same colours you find on the G9, or at least they look similar.
Merci Mathieu, et bonne continuation
Hi Mathieu, nice comparison video test well done.
Thanks for the comparison.
weathersealing or slow-motion?
I just bought my gx9 weeks ago and I am pretty happy with it (upgraded from E-P2). Haha, I just came across this video and I don't know why but I feel that gx85 has better IQ than gx9. Nice video comparison! Keep up the good work!
Really? Think I disagree the gx9 actually looks pretty amazing
I only think the reds show up more accurately on 85, but gx9 has better dynamic range.
Between the two I am taking G9. Not, really. Panasonic why? Why the crop? And why no sealing? And why no Dual IS2? ..I went throught the comparison between GX9 and LX100 already before, and went to G9. Now I am back again thinking of 2nd camera. Having LX100 already but more lenses, the question is shall I trade the LX for GX? Not sure. Why the crop? And why 4k 30p only? Hm. Decisions, decisions.
hola excelente canal, me gustaria una comparativa de la fujifilm xt3 vs sony a7III, muchas gracias sigan haciendo tan buenos videos
I bought GX9 - no regrets.
Even though the focusing ability varies based on my lenses, I didn't realize that the body can play such an important factor, when using the same lens in different bodies (06:46). My poor GX85! That's okay, thank you for the comparison.
Gx85 And Gx9 Only trims when used with stabilizer activated. I checked. Regards
6:50 This is the reason why i sold my GX85 after 6 months,the AF is so bad...
Great Video Mate.. Thank you
Hey good work! A question on your IBIS test. With my Gx85, videos are always jittery when panning. It’s a bit better with e-stablization off. The vertical stabilisation only setting seems making a bit better but still looked sticky. I panned handheld. You? Your footage don’t seems to have problem. How so? Thx
Which lens are you using?
For panning, you need to keep the shutter speed below 180 for it to pan smoothly. Switch to shutter priority. You may need an ND filter on bright days.
Hello, the video Button on my Gx9 has no pressure Point, is this normal?
Thank you, greetings from Germany ☺️
I love that complains about Lack of Mic input... even when 3/4 of TH-camrs use separate audio recording, have much more benefits because your voice is all the time the same even when you 50m away from camera... but no is no mic input disaster.
For £300 Panasonic give You very good 4k camera with no overheating issue, when Canon and Nikon will not match for another few years but you guys complain about mic input for fack sake
The people who bought a cheap camera would not have the money to buy external audio recorders, otherwise they would have bought the more expensive camera solution. A mic input doesn't cost Panasonic more than $1, but it saves youtubers' a lot, and adds value to their offering. Particularly since the GX85's mics are among the worse out there!
thanks for this!
So good!
more saturated colours, better stabilization and more inteligent autofocus... IS IT Worth Twice the Price ?
Today in Feb. '21 it is only $200 more in price difference. I have to say that I kind of prefer the gx85.
Is not clear to me why field of view does change? is it referred to video?
Yes it refers to video, it happens because the camera can't read all the pixels and maintain the same quality (not enough processing power), so it crops the sensor.
Thank-you!
Too bad both have no mic input...
Untrue
the test included the gx85 NOT your g85. sadly neither of the tested cameras have a mic input.
You forgot dual card slots. And a flippy see my own face screen. Submersible to 50 feet, syncs with my Apple watch (haven’t tried that yet)... everything a good run and gun needs 😉
WOW, spot on.
@@tattoobillyvon9764 The GX85/80 and GX9 do not have a mic input. I have a GX8 which does have a mic input which doubles as a remote for use with a gimbal or wireless adaptor.
Better skin tones and a bit more detailed video with better AF, but still not on par with other manufacturers.
Is there a firmware hack that can remove the 1.26x crop in 4k video?
Not that I'm aware of.
I have a GX8 and GX80/GX85 in this demo most of the shots look better on the GX9. The shots on the GX85/GX80 just look a bit light to me and the GX9's shots look a bit sharper. Would I sell my camera's to buy a GX9 the answer is no. At the moment I'm looking at the Fuji X-T2 for 4k video to maybe replace the GX80 I had a Sony a6300 but moved it on.
How do you live the gx8?
Gx9 flatters skin tones more. GX85 has more facial details. On landscapes GX85 is clearly sharper by a long way, but the GX9 has fewer blown highlights among the clouds. On the GX85 once you've got focus on a face, use continuous focus (not face recognition) and it will stay in focus much better. GX85 wins overall for me.
Somehow your video bring me to GX9 instead of Gx85 and........ im really join to use this camera right now.
No regret pick gx9 ^^
damn i can't afford the g9
Is the auto focus in video as good as the G9. With the firmware update the G9 can now almost focus far to near and vice versa almost instantly in video
Hm.. GX85 better in every way.. so I guess I should be happy with my GX85 then? :D
GX9 is a downgrade from the GX8. GX8 has flip out screen, weather sealed. GX9 lacks both.
Panasonic should use the same name as they use in JP.
GX85 = GX7MarkII
GX9 = GX7MarkIII
JP name is better indicate their position >
GX85 &GX9 are both photography centered bodies that also do a nice job of video. This is manifested by the lack of audio in jack as well as the tilty screen.

Gx85. no difference in sharpnes,bettet colors and stabe,way cheeper
i mean gx85 is good
The GX9 is certainly a lot less floaty in the stabilizer department. It seems pretty solid.
i though completely alternative)
3:51 gx85 better than gx9
gx85 better ,gx9 darker than gx85
Ahoj, Mathieu! Where did you take those shots? @5:52
