This is an interesting setup. The 16MP sensor is old. Panasonic upgraded to a 20MP in most cameras 6 or 7 years ago I think. Then again, in-body stabilization is rad, and the kit lens would be really versatile. Seems like a decent deal if you are okay with the resolution.

It's also strange that it's limited to 30fps for video, limiting usefulness as a vlogging camera

While I do have this camera, I'm here to warn you that it's a 9 year old camera, and smartphone cameras have come very close in that time.

It's not a bad deal, but I would prefer a used G9 with whatever lens you want.

In 2026, I'd get a G9 or G97 or G9 Mark II. G85 is from 2016. Likely these are being phased out.

I've had this camera for years. It's honestly been a great camera. It's two limitations are the autofocus hunting and 4k30fps instead of 40k60fps. If you use manual focus and don't need 4k60 (it does 1080p60) then this is a good deal.

Yeah, I have the camera as well. It's strength is the 4k image quality. I don't like the 1080p much. Significant drop in quality.

The low light performance of the 16MP sensor is just not good by today's standards--You're getting pretty grainy at ISO 6400. At this price point and given the form factor of the G85, I would say you're better off looking for a used G9 to get the better sensor and controls.
