I love this channel. The whole world is talking about the Canon R5 and a7S III and Markus Pix is reviewing the GX’s and the a6000 series. Love it!!!!

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.

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.

Came here for the cameras. Stayed for the hair.

Am I the only one that believes that Markus is one of the most genuine people on this platform? He just gives off a vibe of just a genuine person, i hope you are doing well Markus. Stay safe :)

very nice video , thank you Markus

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.

Thanks as always for taking the time to show us some more great products!

Markus. I love the reviews but you have a lot of talent. I would really like more how to's and tutorials from you! I think you have a wealth of knowledge to share with us newbs. 😁. Keep up the good work.

4:31 " geek out at stuff like this." - Love your passion for this stuff... I can always count on getting great feedback about all things cameras! Thanks for taking the time.

Panasonic and Olympus lenses are smaller, lighter than and usually less expensive. Didn't care for the Sony for that reason as well as the more complex menu system.

Thanks for showing how they are almost same design. Your enthusiasm and desire to help & share shines thru!

I have a GX85 and your spot on, it's great for video and never overheats, But I would call it solid, not heavy. Love how you put a Sigma 1.4 on both cameras , nice touch. The lighting and set design are pro grade. Great work, love your videos!

I really appreciate the down-to-earth reviews and tips of all the equipment that you've shown us. Thank you so much for being authentic. It makes a huge difference.

Gotta love the tiny kit lenses, they come in clutch sometimes. Keep it up brother

You can shot anamorphic with 4K photo mode on the GX85. Stabilizer work very good with any manual lenses. For film student class is an incredible camera.

Loved the review Markus. I’ve been a gx85 owner for a few years and I absolutely love it! Doesn’t seem very heavy at all to me compared to my old canon dslr and stabilization is great.

I love the lighting in this video! I'm a huge fan of small cameras. Thanks for sharing.

Markus thank you for your input. You are definitely a breath of fresh air from many out there.

You are so kind to give such precious gifts to others. One day, I'll send you my "photography" story. It's relatively short, but impactful in many ways.

I would love to see more technical tutorials like camera tricks and tips to fully master the a6300 but in your own unique 'Markus Pix' way as usual! These giveaways are getting out of control. The amount of outgoing merchandise coming through your channel is insane. Kudos on being a breath of fresh air in this crammed photography/videography KZfaq space and keep inspiring as always!

Markus, thank you for your great videos--keep up the great work! I don't think enough people just take a moment to say "thank you" to you. You have this contagious energy when you talk about the things that you love. It's one of the many reasons I subscribed a while back to this channel. Another great thing about those little GX85 cameras is that the slightly heavier weight might actually help you keep it steadier when shooting video.

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.

Bon jovi doing reviewing camera now.. iam subscribing

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. on a side note you should look into the camera more often. We want eye contact

Great video on two cameras i was not aware of. Really like your channel and enthusiasm.

I should be picking up a gx85 in a few days. I like shooting m4/3. Keeps me pushing in my photography life.

I have been looking at a lot of reviews for the past month over which camera to buy for a small church project and it came down to Panasonic g85 vs Sony 6300 they got the g85. I am relieved to see you reviewing the gx85 vs the Sony. Puts my mind at ease. They needed video and didn't want to go for camcorder plus the g85 had sound built in.

Love your positive vibes. THANK YOU SIR!

Thank you for the opportunity!👍

I love my GX85...though it may feel heavy, I prefer to call it solid and sturdy. Love your channel!

Great review and very entertaining, as usual! I just found a GM5 and won’t go back to big, brick-like cameras, haha. I love being able to carry it all day without getting tired. This is thanks to your KZfaq reviews!

wow i had no idea they were that close in size. i was considering one just for 4K video, i have a a6000, but i don't vlog or take a lot of video i couldn't justify buying another camera. i have noticed you have been changing the style of the videos a bit, i like the direction you are going, keep up the great work!

You make up the weight in lenses. 45 1.8 that you love, telephoto is ton smaller and lighter.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed your comments.

Hi Markus looks like a fine camera. I hope the person that wins it really wants this camera. So people if you have a camera and don't need this one let's someone else win it.

Came across your videos while trying to figure out what i should get to start a video channel . I thought i needed/wanted a camera. I guess i should get a video camera. You have an awesome channel. Now im going to watch up to a yr back to see what's best under 2,000 in 2020. Thank you!

Love the thoughtful comparison!

Great comparison and breakdown of each camera. Always on point with content. Appreciate your channel. Best wishes and be well. Regards

You do such a good job, and may I say, brother, I like your style.

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.

Glad to be here brother much love and be safe

Very helpful Markus. Thank you sir!

Allways good vives...thank you Markus

Thanks Markus, I really enjoy your Channel

In the future can you make a video on how you record your audio. I been really curious about that and I'm sure everyone who watches your channel could benefit from it.

Hi Markus! I am Miguel from 2megapixels Channel, content Creator like you, doing specially mobile content, reviews, unboxing, camera reviews.. Normally I film myself with mobiles but recently I bought a Lumix lx15 ( compact camera with flip screen and 4k ) but it is small, I keep having It, but yesterday I bought the Sony a6000 to work with it because my pc is old and not powerfull for work good with 4k files.. So, my question is.. Do you think it's nice option that camera for my type of content? And, I am thinking about to buy the Sigma 16 or 30mm! What do you think is better for this? And ¿ Do you think is a problem to film in 1080/60 instead of 4k un 2021/22? Thanks dude!

Hey Markus, we love your opinions - you don't need to give so much stuff away! I know it jives with your life motto of giving 10% but us true fans are here for the content.

Loved how you kept it real! Fun review.

Thank You! God Speed to you and Cara!

Great feed back sir

Love the channel, love the content. I love that you actually know and understand the benefits of MFT rather than acting like it has no place. 👍 I am enjoying my G7 which I bought mainly for video purposes.

I've heard good things about the Gx85 before, good to see you saying the same.

For me it's about the usability factor. The Panasonic just always works for me. For the weight, It makes it feel sooo solid and more premium than it is.

Wow - great video. I am heavily leaning on the GX80 or even the GX9 (what do you think of the GX9 - its 20MP instead of 16MP). Is there anything out there that will give me the capabilities of the GX80 but with a better zoom...at one point I was almost about to get the Fz82 all because of the zoom, then I upped my budget since I wanted something that could just about film stars at night and had the 4K 24fps for film style - but I really would like something with more zoom. Maybe you can recommend good zoom lens that is less expensive than the camera itself? Appreciate your advice.

GX85 was my first 4/3 camera . Came with two zooms for $497. Made the mistake of buying an Olympus EPL-7 which is handier as a grab and go. Couldn't stop with just one. Added a like new EM-1 with battery grip last week for $299 delivered. Simply better bang for the buck. Thanks for another informative video.

Everytime I see your notifications I immediately click the video 🙂 Didn't cross my mind about the overheating for extended video use. Nice breakdown on the two cameras.

Man, I didn't know there was going to be a test on sensor size😲 😂 Interesting seeing the size comparison!

Had to come over once I got the notification!

Great explanation Markus, thanks.

Dang. I have a gx85 and literally was on the verge of "upgrading" to the a6400. This video has made me think it's not that big of a change like I was hoping. The no ibis kinda scares me too, maybe I'm not as good at shooting handheld as I thought lol

I enjoy your channel about M4/3 because I had Lumix GF2 G7 and another small point of shoot Lumix I lost long time ago. I am thinking to migrate to Sony full frame but you convinced me to stay with M4/3. Your post always perfect everything excellent the way you talk and the subject always interesting.

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.

I bought my GX85 over a year ago used for $280 and he threw in a 25mm prime and lens bags and extra batteries and a scorpion jr which ive never used lol. glad to see I got one when the time was right. 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. I'm about to upgrade to a BMPCC, ironically, but you bet the GX85 is going to still be in my edc bag. MFT is win.

Bro love your ENTHUSIASM!! and you're funny as well!

thank you for the great review!

Great video mate! I enjoy watching all your videos. I also like small cameras with decent ( micro four thirds ) sensors and sharp pictures with bokeh!

Always interesting view your video, good job

I didn't realize that stabilization added so much weight. Thanks.

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...

Cool comparison video 👍 Where do you hide your microphone ? And, do use the same mic each time or a different one ?

Do you know there's an easy tweak to get CINE-D and CINE-V Picture profiles for the GX80/85?

Thanks for the video.

Great choices! 👍

I'm in! First time I could participate in your giveaways... Seems a great camera...

Awesome comparison!

very interesting video. very good comparison .Thank You

love your channel lots of great info about shooting less expensive, yes I know you use expensive stuff also. Take care

The gx85 is fantastic! Wonderful image quality.

love your videos Markus thanksssss

Bro, you are the coolest guy in the world. Love your videos!

As a Sony convert, I was interested to see your perspective on the GX85. Was looking at the a6500, but the price and features of the GX85 are enticing.

I like how Marcus is getting even more quarkier with each passing video.

Good comparasion 👏👏

Don't really need this camera, but thanks for the video! Very informative ;)

Thank you markus... such a nice review as always 😇😇

Markus I always enjoy your informative videos. I actually have 2 GX85s, 2 A6000, 2 A5100 and a couple of EM10mii units. I really like having IBIS but sometimes I like the higher resolution of the sonys.

Love your vids. Funny the new Panasonic g100 is similar to the new Sony zv1. I've been thinking about leaving m43 to Sony e mount.

okay so if i wanna do live streams, is Panasonic GX85 a good option? or is there maybe any other better options?

Just got my GX85 for Father's Day. I love it. It's a nice complement to the G85 (already have a bunch of lenses) and I got it and two lenses for $500! I'm not going to try to "win" this one, because I have one. Whoever wins it will get a really nice camera. It takes really nice pictures!

Hello ! And what about the Lumix G80 ? )Mostly for photography). Thanks.

Nice Video Mark. Love it. I also love Oly.

Coming from a Sony user I skipped the 6000 series cameras and went straight into the A7's but if I were in a position to chose between these 2 I would recommend the Lumix for sure

I like how you teach bc know it's from actual experience, not just specs and rumors. Won't be entering the contest, but good luck to all participants!

God Bless you for touching lives! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Well Done. Markus, I have a GX85 converted to full spectrum... Love it. So have you ever considered getting one of your cameras converted to “full spectrum”? It is great for IR landscapes and some portrait photos? Thanks for all you do and stay safe!

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’m binge watching your videos are you giveaways still within the USA..

Good night Markus, I using my MacBook Pro 2012 to do live streaming via facebook. I want to invest in a camcorder (low budget) and was wondering do you have any recommendations of what type of camcorder I should be looking into. Thanks Jose

I really like your reviews, and I'm now trying to chose between the GX850, GX85 or a6000, but how can you make a comparison video if you haven't ever used the GX85? :(
