    I personally also find tremendous value in the GX85 versus the Sony for stills photography. Lens availability for APS-C on Sony is not nearly as vast as for M43, especially if you don't count the full frame lenses that would make the Sony's heft significantly more than the GX85. I'm a FF shooter (Nikon) who just bought the GX85 after this struggle between Sony and the Lumix. I have an a6000 but lens choices are there, but not in some of the small form factors available in M43. For example, I wanted the smallest package to have with me all the time. The kit lens is about the same size as the Sony kit, but the 14 and 20mm M43 pancakes are just tiny and have apertures of 1.7. I know there are Sigmas with apertures as large as 1.4, but the 16mm lens is quite hefty compared to a 14mm or 20mm 1.7 Panasonic lens. If lens size didn't matter, I too would probably choose Sony, but not without image stabilization built in, which also drives price upward significantly.
    For me, the GX85 was best value, best feature and best size combined in one options. I will buy larger lenses, but when size is the ultimate goal, nothing really beats it with 14mm 1.7, 20mm 1.7, 25mm 1.7, 42.5mm 1.7 or 45mm 1.8 Olympus. Those lenses are just so tiny that carrying it is a pleasure and tucking it away and not being "that photographer over there" is awesome. I don't need the world to see me out and about looking like a pro carrying my heaviest Nikon gear. I just need to get the shots, come home and then enjoy without being a distraction, and the GX85 does that for me.

    I bought the GX85 a year and a half ago when I took up photography. I chose it because of the image stabilization and its performance reviews. I like that it has a bit of weight to it. Makes it seem substantial and feels good and n my grip. He should have used it before making a discussion. Sometimes the thing you like least becomes the thing you like best when you spend time with something.

    Can't believe you would do a camera review comparing a body with stabilization and one without, and then admit you didn't even try the stabilized camera, and then say it was simply too heavy. Why not just save us the time in the first place and say you hate this camera because it's too heavy. I'm old school. I like heavy stuff.

    I own two GX80. I paid 250 euros for my first one on eBay, with that 12-32 lens, and 380 euros for the second one with a 14-140 lens (That I sold for 280 since I already had one). Both camera are in brand new condition. I love them. I do mostly video with them as for still image my main camera is a Nikon D4 ( And that IS a big and easy camera) . I really love the GX80 and would advise everyone to get one.

    I love my gx85. It is pretty heavy for the size but, in my experience, it's still lighter with a pro zoom than an ASP-C. Plus, that dual IS means I can shoot handheld without rigging. That makes the camera super light by comparison.
    But, as you said, it's better for video shooters and that's where my perspective comes from.

    Great video, I honestly think the GX85 is the best cameras available for people on a budget. When you compare to others it has all the major features you need except a mic input, so it competes even with some pricier cameras.

    The GX85 is an awesome (big) pocket camera with the 20mm f1.7. Small enough to fit comfortably in a pair of khakis. You can take stabilized pictures in low light with pretty good shallow depth of field. It weighs less than a pound. So it's not that heavy for a stabilized camera with a decent sensor size.

    We've had the GX80 for years now and it's a great little camera to shoot with. Added a little grip and now it pairs perfectly with the Lumix 25mm f1.7. And if you get mugged, it's heavy enough to bash someones skull and strong enough that you can still finish your photoshoot. The only thing we miss is a mic-in because Pascal keeps forgetting to hit the record button on the audio recorder. Ah well...

I shoot music videos on it and nearly all my clients remark on how great the picture is from such a small camera. admittedly it is a brick, but brick beats plastic any day.

    The IBIS on the GX85 is *real.* That's important; the Sony a6500 IBIS is only good for still photography, (takes care of micro-shakes), but does absolutely *nothing* for video. I burned myself getting an a6500 thinking it would be good for vlogging. Without a gimbal, it's pretty hopeless for walk & talk, and gimbals are awkward; the opposite of compact and easy!

    I don't care much about the overheating, as I usually shoot short clips. The IBIS in the GX85 is just amazing, and totally unexpected in a camera of this price range. As you said, you need to spend more than double to get something on a different brand that's not even close to this stabilization. On the other hand, the autofocus on the GX85 is useless for video. But the assisted Manual focus with peaking is excellent.

      My fav grab and go all purpose pocket cam is the Sony RX100vii th-cam.com/video/0_5lQpXmyLg/w-d-xo.html Micro Four thirds the G7 is the lightest and most fun to use, the G100 is smallest with newest bells and whistle th-cam.com/video/35KV31_CT5I/w-d-xo.html G100 20scenarios th-cam.com/video/oBp5dMnAJ9M/w-d-xo.html.
      For APSC, its the 6300 th-cam.com/video/sRZDIGFxf4s/w-d-xo.html and for full frame it's A7C for video and the A7III for serious stills photography. I hope this helped

    Crap I've been a little bit of a compact camera gearhead for 10y and your videos are teaching me stuff I never knew keep up the great work! I really never thought that much about bokeh or overheating till your video series ... Lumix is really a video cam dominant camera (better than canon Olympus nerfed by design)...

    I believe the GX9 is lighter, it also has the 20mpx sensor, maybe you will prefer that one ;-)
    I have the GX80, I take stills mostly and it is superb. It is a great travel camera, it has IBIS in this incredibly small camera! It has the 4k photo mode too - which is underrated I feel. In video I like the 4k live cropping mode, have you tried that? You get a lot with the GX80/85.

    Hey Markus! Great video. I’ve had the GX85 since it came out. Unlimited record length on 4K with almost no crop and good IBIS - it’s a great hybrid camera. For stills I don’t even both shooting jpegs - Panasonic jpegs suck, at least on this generation of sensors. But the RAW files work really well in Lightroom and look great with most presets. The dynamic range is not great on the GX85, but you learn to shoot accordingly. The two things I like best on that camera are the shutter and the front command dial. The GX85 shutter is gorgeous, it’s mechanical but they did some electro-magnetic release thingy that takes it over the top for sharp images. BTW that’s why they made it heavy (ballast?) : it’s the first MFT camera with no visible shutter shock at slower speeds. The other thing I like about this camera is the front command dial. I change most of my settings with it, and it feels great and is perfectly placed around the shutter button. Cheers mate! I always enjoy your photos and videos.

      Oh sorry, you said Gx850, I thought you said GX85, sorry. Yes the GX850 is much lighter and smaller, but the G100 has a viewfinder, better color, improved focus and tracking and is an all around better camera. But the GX850 is a great lightweight travel camera to have fun with. I love both of them for different reasons.

    It's been my primary camera since somewhere around the turn of 2016 & 2017, and it's made it hard for me to switch to anything else because it does some things really really well: I returned a Sony A7RII and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the XT3 I just got. It's the Ibis, and it's so functional all by itself, along with it's app turning your phone into a field monitor. If you have a big enough battery the only limit on film time is running out of space - almost 3 hours on a 128gb card... It's natural profile looks good, and now I'm messing around with the Cinelike D hack + shadow & highlight curves. It's 4K crop is smaller than the G85 and GX9, you really should have given it a try.

    Great video Markus. Focused on real practical questions, as always. A good option on m43 is also the Olympus EM10 MIII. Bigger that GM1/5, but still slightly lighter that the GX85, also with 4K, cheap and with an important advantage over the panasonic: 1/250 max flash sync. And if you don´t need the 4K video, you have also the MarkII version that is even lighter and incredible cheap these days if you can find it somewhere trying to clean stock. I usually go with that one plus a couple of small primes.

    I don't have the GX85, I do have the GX9 which is similar. Recently I loaned a A6000 from a friend to compare it with my GX9.
    I was missing the touch screen on the Sony. The great plus of Lumix cameras is their Touch screen which you can operate for evrything including focus, :menus, functions. These are solid, well thought, easy to use camera. My friend still has the GX9, I am really missing it.
