Why Is This Camera STILL So POPULAR??? What Is It’s Appeal???

[@TerryGilbreth]

My G85 coupled with the Olympus 12-40, both bought used, produces what I think are fabulous jpegs. The face recognition feature helps too. It's hard to justify buying anything else!

[@thatszeno5089]

Great video! - I agree, There is something about this camera that instantly makes it a classic. For me, it was seeing a short random video done with it. I knew then, it was a camera I wanted to use for video.

I love my G85. I shoot B/W using the Meike 35 and 25 mm. It is easy to setup for streamiing, like Teams meetings. You do need the Cam Link adapter. Solid 4k as well. For that price? Pretty awesome.

[@emmanuelvega9395]

Hi Grant. Love your videos. Any thoughts on the Panasonic G95?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Thanks … Yeah, lots of people say good things about the G95 :)

[@thextopic]

thanks video well done i think ill get myself one today this camera seem to offer a lot

[@gerardmahalak3334]

I have one, I will explain why it's great. It's small, light and cheap, great stabilization, tap to focus is enough, great sound, with the right lens looks great even in low light, 4k, easy to use, great quality, better then full frame for wildlife photography, great phone app, lots of small good cheap used lenses, flippy screen, simple to operate, yes you can get crazy good bokeh with the right lens, etc etc etc.

Very Interesting camera and if i would not have a GX85 allready,i would buy.But there is not realy a Upgrade except the mic input and the better ergonomics.Love that big Handgrip.The gx85 has terrible ergonomics especially with a full Metal Vintage Lense.But the Body is very smal on the other Hand.

[@alanneilson6811]

I still like to use my G80 is a bit more of a second body now but will go out with it over my Em1 mk3 sometimes. I like it for timelapse and stop motion particularly.

Hello from New York City! What is your favorite picture profile and why? Thank you for your informative video.

[@grantrobertdavies]

I like the Natural Profile - Just a great profile for most settings!!! :)

[@RashawnpettieVideos]

I got mine $400 with 12-60 in box in excellent condition. I love it

[@troll2637]

Would this be good for night street photography? No astrophotography or anything. Thank you.

[@zhuzhu9599]

have u decided on the camera?

[@magpiemarc1962]

I have 2 of them my favourite camera ever

[@markielinhart]

Nice one Grant. That 12-60 is a fab lens. Mine is attached to a GH3 (yes really) and it’s a great combo…✌️🌻#LoveMyLumix

[@grantrobertdavies]

Thank You :) Yeah, Great Little Lens :)

[@Awayne429]

Would this camera be suitable for low-light videography/photography? I’m looking to film and take photos of my buddy during his concerts.

[@grantrobertdavies]

Not the best in low light - most concert photographers use full frame cameras

[@Awayne429]

@@grantrobertdavies okay thank you

[@hidayad5641]

May i get your advice. Should I buy lumix g85 or canon eos r50. Both camera with kit lens is at the same price in my country. Main purpose is for astrophotography and wildlife.

[@grantrobertdavies]

I can’t answer that question sorry - I’ve never used the canon r50 so I don’t know what the difference would be… :)

[@zhuzhu9599]

Hey bro which one did u purchase ultimately?

[@jameslees1169]

Hi Grant. I have owned many cameras over the years but the G85 offers the best price to value ratio out of all M43s cameras to date. I scored mine for a little over AU$400. It comes after the release of the G7 and before the G95, G9, GH5 cameras. Costing far less than the latter offerings, it has most of the features and functions that they do, with the exception of slowmo and higher 1080p bitrates. I just don't think there is any better all-round M43 camera at this price point. Awesome channel. Keep up the great work!!!!

[@grantrobertdavies]

Thanks man :)

[@headspace69]

I just ordered the 12-60 lens woul d you say it is a good started lens

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yes :)

[@nikolaygrishakin4646]

I still use this camera and upgrade only if Panny releases G9 ii with new autofocus system

[@OchaFauzan01]

It is probably the most hardcore looking "small" camera. If you fit it with a battery grip, it looks like a baby full frame DSLR body😂

[@SteveSacramento]

I bought my G85 brand new from Best Buy a few years ago as a kit for $699 about two years ago I bought my G9 used from a local Camera store for $699 since I bought the G9 I really have not used my G85

[@enzocannizzo8744]

Still have the G85 a great camera !

[@ezekielkok1848]

Can you compare this vs the A7s?

[@grantrobertdavies]

Don’t know - I’ve never used an A7s Sorry

[@khannaparikshit]

Finally, someone. Thanks for addressing this fine sensor and the stills. Been looking for a new video on the G85 and here it is, with the right insight, unlike others that came before.

[@ravebrave8866]

this is the reason chikili after all my research I bought a used camera with 14 42 lens for about 575 dollars.

[@georgedavall9449]

G 95 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@grantrobertdavies]

Yes
