Awesome $300 Camera You Probably Don't Need

My man, so glad you're stoked on the camera. That's a good point you brought out about it not being the most "efficient" 1st or only camera, it really is a complimentary camera to grab that extra angle or a fun photo and b-roll cam since it lacks some very useful tools (mostly just the mic jack). So hyped on the love with the shoutout, keep up the awesome work!

Just got this camera and I’d say even in 2024, this camera is still a powerhouse that’ll hang with cameras much more in price. Pretty incredible actually how much lumix charges for this camera and the features it comes with, honestly should be much more expensive. That L.monochrome setting is fantastic looking, as well! I’ve had everything from Pentax to Leica to everything in between, this camera definitely catches my attention!

Where is this camera $300?! I'm looking for one and can't find it under $450 😭

I like mine so much i got a second one.

Good luck finding this body for only $300.

I have owned 2 of these gems separately in the past. I’m one of these ppl who will buy and sell multiple cameras to use, try out and sell again for something else. But, I might have to get this again and compare to what I currently own to see which wins out. Some of my favourite photos were taken with this and the Oly 17mm f1.8. I currently own a Fuji x-e2 and an Oly e-m10iii. The Oly has a better viewfinder, but for some reason I can’t get the touch focus to work whilst looking through the viewfinder. I’ve checked menus and it all seems to be enabled to do this, so it might just be faulty (or I’m mistaken and it just can’t do this), but I had no problem doing this with a gx80 and it’s such a neat feature. For less than £300 secondhand these are a steal and an easy one to recommend.

Too heavy. Some ppl think they added ballast, but it's just a first gen ibis unit. I have one, not my favorite, but technically excellent I can't deny. Takes all the tech from Lumix of the day

I got one of these bad boys when they were pretty new and I'm still using it regularly in 2023. It's almost perfect.

Just got this one, great indeed next to the S5!

$800 CAD

2 Year old video and you made me buy 2 of these !

How about 1080p 50fps? good quality?

Who makes the grip he has?

I'm just looking for a compact, budget priced travel interchangeable lens camera. Problem is there so much competition between Sony, Panasonic, Olympus, Fuji, and Canon that I don't know what to choose.

I went from a Sony SLT camera to a GX80 in 2016 to reduce the size of the equipment to carry. It's been my main camera ever since, still happy with it.

Is my S.O.S B Camera and Holiday Family cam (A Cam = Nikon Z9)

Thanks!

I using a Lumix Gx85 camera,I really like it.Lumix Gx85 give me inspiration in photography
,sure 99%...Thank you review about it. <3

Well, maube the camera is 300. But the DJI 15 is a 700$ lens. Aps-c is much cheaper and for big angle lens the size is the same.

Anyone know where to still find that Ternal grip? It's sold out on Amazon and B&H unfortunately

my god that tattoo

Gx85 built like a tank

I don't get the concern about the missing mic jack. Does it really matter? It's so easy to sync up audio tracks from an external recorder (which you may still mount on the hot shoe, just not connected with a cable) to the internal audio track in camera.

I'm into photography not so much video and this is the only camera I use really. It was in my price range and most cameras aren't as I have a limited budget. it does everything I want .

this or the g85, first camera for photo product and videos for social media?

There is also the Sony ZV1 you can find around 500$. Amazing quality and perfect for travel and everyday filmaking. You should try it !!

Can it shoot in log picture profile?

Really enjoy you video. Always smart. The camera is beautiful. Thanks.

I have had the GX80 for 4 years and I just love the camera. As you said, it's a really capable photography and filmmaking camera.

Just bought the GX85 last week. I already have the GH5 but use it less because of the size and weight. Now, GH5 only comes out from storage to do proper video work in company settings.

The GX85 literally goes with me everywhere so far, such a joy to use because of it's size. Look hella good too!

Its 750$ cad here :( ... waiting for the a74 to retire my a73, 300 would have been a good b/c cam but not at 750 im guessing

Pound for pound dollar for dollar the best camera you can buy.

Late shout out to that FARANG shirt

My main and only camera for photo and video, want a second one)

GH5 and GX85 have been my filming combo for 3 years now and I'm still loving it.

Just picked up an x-e4 today, too bad I didn't see this video earlier lol

I swear this is the most underrated channel. I really know how good your content is and I hope more people find out about it. good job brother

meh ... go Olympus E-M1.

Saw the mall grab coffee mug! Fellow videographer and a fan of specialty coffee? Subscribed

We use the same camera! gh3 hah. but now i need this gx85. dammit.

I feel more and more inclined to get into the M4/3 system. There are dirt cheap offers and the used market is plenty. The latest Olympus om-d e-m10 mark iv seems to be a great camera for the price and there are pocket friendly little Panasonics. My only concern is the video autofocus.

this plus a micro prime cine lens

how about a gx8 ?

Dude this whole time never made the association that Barros was Portuguese, considering how often I make that assumption based on last names I'm really surprised I missed it.

what about sony zv-1?

Man, the video is kind of dark. Literally.
