Packed a lot of features in a small body, kit lens is surprisingly sharp. this camera is under priced.

I had been looking for a more compact camera to act as the b cam for my GH4 (the GH4 is small but I wouldn't call it compact). The GX85 totally fit the bill! I've been using it handheld and the IBIS does a much better job with smooth handheld camera work than just about every optically image stabilized lens I've used. The pans are smooth and you don't get that jerky motion so coming in stabilized lenses. Combined with one of the Dual IS compatible lenses and you have IMO the BEST image stabilization available.

This is a vision machine that connects with my body very well. In a week I feel that I am a good photographer already.

I really love this little camera, especially for the price! It looks a bit like a point and shoot, but don't let looks fool you! I got this with the kit lens (but only because they didn't have the black silver version without lens) and I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of the kit lens as well. The lens does not do super well in low light/ high ISO situations, but other than that it is surprisingly sharp for what it is. This camera/ lens combination is extremely well suited for street photography as it is very compact (the lens is very flat for a zoom) and super quiet. If you set it on electronic shutter it doesn't make any sound at all but even with mechanical shutter it is definitely silent enough for candid street or weddings (or anywhere where you need to be quiet) I already got a bunch of other lenses for this camera, and with high quality lenses this camera is really getting close to top level. Super sharp and even fantastic bokeh with certain lenses. With lenses that have a wide aperture, it even starts to perform pretty good in low light situations. Of course, getting into dark situations is pushing a micro 4/3 to its limits, so if you plan to do a lot of that, maybe look at investing a bit more (maybe its bigger brother the GH5?). But again, with the right lenses, even that can be done with this camera. I will actually travel to the desert soon and I am going to see if I can even pull off star photography with the f1.7 prime lenses I got for it. I think it will do just fine.

Great camera. � Bot this camera for my wife to use at church.� It is very easy for her to use.� It takes great picture.

Sharp video. Great stabilization. Nice kit lense.

Don't be fooled by the small size and tiny kit lens 12-32 it packs one heck of a punch with its excellent color and image quality.some sample shots here standard picture style SOOC.

Tilt screen and compact size perfect for work and travel

I bought the GX85 body from B&H and the 30mm prime. Had the 14-140 zoom. I believe this is the perfect lens combo for 99% of all shooting scenarios. Optical stabilization works well. My first touch focus and my first M43. To be honest, the auto focus is so good it renders the touch focus almost unnecessary. The M43 lenses are so light and compact yet generate top notch results. The only somewhat negative aspect of the GX85 oddly enough is the main reason I purchased the camera. I wanted a small travel camera yet after handling it for a while I kinda miss the larger traditional layout. In retrospect I probably should have purchased the G85. I find myself searching and changing the position of the camera in my hand to find the most comfortable and most useable option. Just when I start to get frustrated I remember the price difference between the GX85 and G85, the comparable still performance and the small bag I need to carry the extra lens and all the accessories. Then I come to the realization that I have a small powerful inexpensive camera which can shoot some really nice photos, good 4K video with a small footprint. Did I mention inexpensive? You are not going to find a camera body at this price point which will out perform the GX85. Period.

I am impressed by the features packed in such a compact body especially the 5 axis image stabilization that works really well in the videos. The image quality is really good. My Nikon D5600 DSLR might have slightly better image quality but the portability and features makes me want to use this more. The only downside is that the battery life could have been better and they should have provided a separate charger. I am not a fan of in-camera battery charging. But you can find a generic one on ebay for less than 10$ so not really a big issue.
