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.
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 :)
I agree!!
I agree too
@@arminfernando3100 yup =)
Came here for the cameras. Stayed for the hair.
lmao
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Glad you like them!
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.
You make up the weight in lenses. 45 1.8 that you love, telephoto is ton smaller and lighter.
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
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.
lesnes are way cheaper as well
@@AmbientWanderer And lighter wright than the Sony lenses to which makes up for the weight of the camera. Mmmmm.
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.
very nice video , thank you Markus
Gotta love the tiny kit lenses, they come in clutch sometimes. Keep it up brother
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.
I should be picking up a gx85 in a few days. I like shooting m4/3. Keeps me pushing in my photography life.
Bon jovi doing reviewing camera now.. iam subscribing
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 upgraded to the GX9 and am fairly happy. I prefer the jpegs -- resolution of course, but colour too; exposure compensation button (very stiff unfortunately); titling EVF (do wish it was bigger though). Biggest con is 100g heavier
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.
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...
Yes it's definitely a weapon lol
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.
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.
Yes big audio series on the horizon LOTS of stuff to cover
Good point...... I am interested as well
I love my GX85...though it may feel heavy, I prefer to call it solid and sturdy. Love your channel!
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.
You prefer the Oly cameras? If so, I'm curious which features are better?
@@sdrtcacgnrjrc autofocus, build quality feels sturdier and extends to how m.zuiko lenses feel. Panasonic is better at video.
@@daleclark3138 thanks
perfect comparison with perfect analysis , you made my day, mate!
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.
GX80 is more versatile for small compact. I own my for almost 4 years and was looking for change but nothing impress me enough to make a switch.
I use mine with two primes Leica 15mm (street photography and all round carry) and Panasonic 42mm for portraits. Also, I've one 35-100 telephoto from Panasonic.
have you changed yet?
@@Invintius Yes, 1.5 year ago I bought DC-G9EG-K and very happy with it.
It has almost full frame size but lenses are smaller than full frame equivalent and it makes the setup very good balanced in hands.
I also sold all prime lenses and now use two Panasonic Lumix G Vario ASPH POIS 12-35 and 35-100 f/2.8.
Most of the time I use a smaller lens - shooting in 24mm 35mm 50mm 70mm.
The other one is used for portraits with larger bokeh to match full frame portraits bokeh at ff 50mm (taken at 100mm), and for horse jumping competition shoot at 70mm 85mm 120mm 150mm 200mm.
I try to keep the focal length consistent and stick to those.
Am i crazy? For me, the little sensor Is better. No overheat, tiny lenses, smaller cameras, etc. Yo can get blurry background too. Well, a MFT or 1" is ok for me, for video cameras and photography cameras.
Not everything is about the bokeh. I switched from gx80 because of the field of view it's just too cropped.
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.
Of course, you don't know how good is the stabilization if you didn't even use it one single time...
The a6000 and 6500 did overheat a lot but a6400 doesn't overheat at all unless you're shooting out in the summer sun for hours. It can go HOURS recording video if you have enough battery and not overheat indoors. I don't know about the 6600 but I suppose it will have similar results. Still I love the gx85 more! If you're looking to buy the 6000 or 6500 then do consider gx85 as well. Unless you specifically want an aps-c sensor gx85 is better than those. But if you have the cash then go for the 6400, it's an overall better camera.
what about in 2023?
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 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 RUclips space and keep inspiring as always!
Thanks for showing how they are almost same design. Your enthusiasm and desire to help & share shines thru!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
The image stabilization helps you get better photos too.
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 RUclips reviews!
I LOVE my GM5!
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.
Still picture, what do you choose between gx85, a6000 ?
@user-zr9ne2cd2t it depends on situation, my next trip to europe will take gx85 because of smaller lenses and can fit 2 bodies with lenses in small bag. I know A6000 is actually smaller and lighter but the lenses are a bit heavier.
GX85 with the Leica 12-60mm is a great combo.
Good review :)
The lack of external mic input is a bit of a bummer, but that's just nit picking. It would definitely be an indie filmmaker's dream, especially those of us who are one-man-bands.
For anyone watching... 1:35
Not to rant... but just want to clarify for anyone wondering.
MegaBYTE and MegaBIT are NOT the same thing... please do not be confused. This video (MarkusPix) gets it wrong.
Just for reference. If it did shot at 100 MB per second, the filesizes woud be about 1 GB for a 10 second video. 6 GB per minute. Thats not really how it works.
Its Mbit (Megabit) he is talking about.
Megabyte is a filesize. Megabit is a bitrate.
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.
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.
Markus thank you for your input. You are definitely a breath of fresh air from many out there.
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've got a custom 3D printed grip for my GX85 that makes it so much more comfortable when I've got big lenses on there
Have you or can you share the 3d-files for it? Would wanna try one too!

I'm a surfer and RUclipsr and this camera is great and the lenses and accessories are cheaper but great quality. Best camera I've ever had and my surf photos and video are great.
I love the lighting in this video!
I'm a huge fan of small cameras. Thanks for sharing.
When the sensor isn't as small a cell phone or a cheap camcorder, I can't help but like the camera. Then again, I almost never record anything outdoors in super bright light so I'm biased toward having a 4/3 sensor or larger.
I have been waiting for the winner to be announced. Been Praying for a camera like this one. I miss the only thing that brings me happiness and that's my Photography. Need a camera but every single penny of mine goes to my Bill's, nothing is left to save up for a camera. Someone is going to be luckiest person. They probably won't realize how lucky. But maybe they will.
God Bless all of you who are reading this. And Markus for giving to those less fortunate. I don't know anyone else who thinks about people that can't afford, disabled, etc. Who would never get a chance to get into Photography any other way. Amazing, Beautiful person. God Bless everyone.
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 love my G7! Funny I bought it because it looks so cool. I liked it more than my GH5S so I gave away my GH5!
I didn't realize that stabilization added so much weight. Thanks.
Great video on two cameras i was not aware of. Really like your channel and enthusiasm.
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!
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.
Hmm, the gx85 is 22 grams heavier than the 6300 or 0.77 ounces. The OM 5 is about 12 grams heavier or the same as the g7. I know OM5 a different newer camera, but my point is that the MFT here aren’t really any heavier, though perhaps more solid feeling. Even the A 6500 is only about 50 grams heavier, but that may be enough. Still, so nice to have given the gx85 away!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed your comments.
I was deciding between the Lumix GX85 and the Sony A6500 or A6100 for my first digital camera and chose the GX85. Got it brand new from Amazon bundled with the 12-32mm and 45-150mm kit lenses because it had a better price to value ratio than the Sony cameras.
The 12-32mm is such a gem of a lens and now I just need an inexpensive standard prime lens to complete my kit, such as the Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8 or the plastic fantastic Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f1.7, but I'm leaning towards the Olympus.
I am thinking of potentially getting an A6500, A6100 or A6400 as a secondary camera system in the future for that sweet autofocus system and PDAF if Panasonic won't bring out a compact MFT camera with those features.
Your contagious passion for photography played a part in inspiring me to get a camera and it feels like such a rewarding experience compared to using a smartphone.
Hi! I’m peeled between the lumix gx85 and sony a6100 as well for my first digital camera too, would you say that the lumix gx85 produce great quality photos in natural and low light and flash on, as well as with the zoom turned on? :)
I like how Marcus is getting even more quarkier with each passing video.
Affordable and small is good, I use my Olympus OMd Mk5 III as the photo/video camera that's plenty good enough and I can carry it backpacking and cycling. GX85 looks interesting and fun.
You are sooo right Markus! I am on the same page, technology is so good nowadays, that we could be shooting a feature on small cameras and get better quality than the first Star Wars shot on digital! Small and light cameras are easier to rig too. My hidden gem is EPL-9! Lighter, smaller, 4K/24 and does even 120fps, although in 720p only, but hey! Thanks for the great review!
The original Jurassic Park in all its revolutionary glory was shot in just 1K !
@@MarkusPix That is amazing, I did not know that! Proves even more that a great movie depends on content much more than on the tools!
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.
Nice video, Markus. You forgot 1 MAJOR advantage of the GX85 and size- the lenses. You've got the 14 (f2.5), 20 (f1.7), 17 (f1.8), 42.5 (f1.7), 45 (f1.8) from Panasonic and Olympus and they're all under 150g. You don't really have that in Sony land! They always seem to be bigger and heavier. Sony forgot the real point of APS-C IMO- it's the SIZE, not trying to keep up with full-frame (which they already have and are relatively small).
Meh. Better glass is bigger glass. Sigma trio ftw
@@kingsamvisuals That's not how that works. Sorry. It'd be great if it were so simple.
John Matthews I agree with KingSam, 90% of the time the bigger the glass the better the quality/bokeh. You can’t cheat the physics of light. Now how much % better is the real question...That’s subjective.
@@NickL0VIN This is completely subjective... but unfortunately this is also about patents, sensors, build, software, and money. The 80s produces so many junk zoom lenses, and they were huge. Even in the modern era, Sony has made really bad ones. And there really is such a thing as too many elements. I try to stay under 9. Glass is evil.
John Matthews lol. Let’s put it this way, under the same year, bigger glass is always better. 95% of the time.
Lens availability, and size of the lenses is why I prefer my M4/3's cameras. I have Sony's as well, but to get a long bird lens on a Sony you have to go full frame and go crazy heavy.
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.
Do you get magenta skin tones in jpeg ? Thanks
Glad to be here brother much love and be safe
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.
😊
Thank you for the opportunity!👍
Thanks as always for taking the time to show us some more great products!
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.
Making a music video is a lot harder than I thought. I think the Lumix G85 would work well for my needs making a puppet video on my own. Yeah having help would be great but having a great camera to capture those wonderful moments would take my focus off of working solo. Never really had a quality camera so dealing with a camera that's heavier for you would not be an issue for me. Thanks for what you do. Hoping the person that wins gets great use of the camera...
I've heard good things about the Gx85 before, good to see you saying the same.
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.
I bought this camera 2 months ago. 450€ with case, extra battery, kit lens and another 35-100mm lens. Impressive camera.
The LCD screen on GX85 is a little bigger than Sony 6x00, and that's a big deal to me! Anyone else feels the same?
The GX9 (follow-up to the GX85) looks the same size (is very slightly bigger) but is 100 grams heavier than the 85. I find the weight does bother me
Gx85 has unlimited recording time in 4K Sony has a 30min limit
One thing that you forgot to mention is the lens weight and sizes for micro 4/3 are much lower than APSC and there’s a complete eco system dedicated to them. APSC is like a neglected lens category that first party manufacturers don’t fully service, because they want you to buy the full frame system.
So, for travel and everything else, micro 4/3 can serve you at lower weight class.
The shortcomings being high ISO noise and difficulty getting shallow depth of field.
No I didn't forget to mention that- I've been saying that for years on this channel. I have over thirty M43 cameras and over 60 M43 lenses ruclips.net/video/0eDOCAokkko/видео.html The reason I use M43 is small and lightweight when traveling ruclips.net/video/vj2eji4ms5A/видео.html . BUT the reason this video was made is the GX85 is NOT small and lightweight, it is a heavy brick. I don't care about IBIS, I want tiny ultralight cameras. If I'm going to have something as big and heavy as the GX85, then I might as well use the 6300 which has higher image quality and bokeh. My two fav lenses are not that much bigger or heavier than the good M43 lenses. That was the reason for this video.
HELLO I AM A VIDEOGRAPH OF MEXICO, I LIKE IT SO MUCH AS YOU EXPLAIN YOUR TUTTORIALS, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER, GREETINGS!
GX 85 have better stayblization you can video walking without gimble with two hand hold tigth and it have better color, but sony have better focus
The gx85 is fantastic! Wonderful image quality.
I have just bought the gx85 as a kind of smaller camera that took decent pictures even if there are better and more expensive compact cameras out there. I already have my fujifilm and nikon cameras so was not that bothered on the number of megapixels as was looking for a less expensive travel camera .
I had a GX85 for a few weeks but couldn't get into the tilty screen. I ended up regifting it to my dad and got myself a GX8 with the flippy screen. I love the GX8 just wish Ibis worked in 4k. Gx9 dropped a bunch of features so I wasn't into it.
I just bought a6000 2 weeks ago and for me image quality isn`t that good as for APS-c, pictures are dark and looks like from smartphone, I prefer Lumix and Canon.
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)...
GX80/85 is also great form factor. Lenses are much smaller than APS-C cameras.
yes but if the camera is the same big size and weight as an APSC camera, might as well go APSC. The whole draw of M43 is being small and lightweight, which is why I love my GM1, GM5, GX850 and G100.
It depends on what you want from the camera though. If you're talking theoretical maximum image quality than M4/3 is not a smaller system as lenses that produce the same results as the higher end lenses for APS-C are just as big and expensive.
I own the Gx80 and yes, it’s amazing little camera, to bad that you didn’t put samples of this Sony and Panasonic camera
The GX85 packs quite a bit of "Bang for the Buck". But I feel that the Sony offers a faster responding auto focus in Video mode over the GX85 in Video mode.
Great comparison and breakdown of each camera. Always on point with content. Appreciate your channel. Best wishes and be well. Regards
Markus, great channel.
Do not know how you missed it but the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III would be an amazing camera for you. At 414g it is 12g less than G85 and only 11g more than A6300. It offers 5.5 stops of IBIS. fully articulated screen, phase detect autofocus (so much better video) , microphone input, weather sealed. With the Olympus 14-150mm F/4.0-5.6 II kit lens (which is amazingly sharp and light for its capabilities) you can use it for anything and only Olympus offers a complete set of small, light F/1.8 primes as well as beautiful pro grade F/1.2 ones. (no I do not own it but probably will buy one, I just reviewed it (web, You Tube forthcoming), I own Olympus E-M1 Mark III (a fabulous professional camera but heavier), a Panasonic G9, a G95 and your and my favorite GX8 (I HATE the GX9)).
Olympus is great, but it’s still a MFT camera that’s the same size and weight as an APSC camera, in which case I might as well use a 6600. The OMDM5III is bigger and clunkier than the GX85 which I don’t want. If I want to use MFT, I will use my GM5 or GM1 or GX850 which are all much smaller and lighter. I have a GX8 which is about the same size and weight as your suggested Olympus, it’s great because of the swivel viewfinder, IBIS etc but I never use that camera because of the size and weight, it just sits on my desk collecting dust. But that’s just me. If the Olympus gives you joy, then that’s what matters. Each persons preferences are different.
Thanks Markus, I really enjoy your Channel
