Panasonic GX85: 16MP Micro Four Thirds with 5-axis Dual I.S.
Panasonic pulled the anti-aliasing filter off the GX85's 16MP Four Thirds sensor and backed it with the Venus Engine processor, so per-pixel detail comes through in both Raw and JPEG files. A redesigned shutter mechanism addresses the shutter shock that dogged earlier Micro Four Thirds bodies, and 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization pairs with compatible lenses for Dual I.S., making handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds practical for stills and video alike.
Video shooters get 4K recording at 3840x2160 (30p/24p) at 100Mbps, plus 4K Photo mode for pulling stills from footage. The 3-inch tilting touchscreen (1,040,000 dots) handles touch-to-focus and touch-to-shoot with near-instant response, and four customizable buttons let you build a control scheme around your own workflow, whether that's quick access to JPEG picture styles or toggling the touchscreen on and off.
Continuous shooting runs up to 8 fps with focus locked (AF-S) using the mechanical shutter, and the 49-point autofocus system uses Depth from Defocus for tracking. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC gets images off the camera fast, and the rangefinder-style body weighs 426g, keeping the whole kit light for travel.
This is a camera built around a genuinely useful touchscreen interface, in-body stabilization that actually earns its name, and a mature Micro Four Thirds lens lineup that keeps the system compact and affordable.
Who It's For
Street photographers get a lot from the tilting touchscreen and touch-to-shoot control, letting you frame from the hip or a low angle and fire off discreet frames with the electronic shutter. Travel shooters benefit from the 426g body and Dual I.S., which makes handheld shots in dim interiors or moving vehicles usable without a tripod. Video hybrid shooters get 4K recording at 3840x2160 (30p/24p) plus 4K Photo mode for pulling stills out of motion. Anyone building a first Micro Four Thirds kit benefits from the 2x focal length multiplier and the depth of lenses available across the mount, paired with a 49-point autofocus system that keeps subjects tracked at reasonable speeds.

FAQ
- Does the GX85 have weather sealing?
- No. The body is not environmentally sealed, so keep it protected in wet conditions.
- What's the difference between the 8 fps and 6 fps burst rates?
- The mechanical shutter hits 8 fps when AF-S (focus locked before shooting) is active. For continuous autofocus-needed to track moving subjects-you're limited to 6 fps, which is the practical rate for most action work.
- How does Dual I.S. work on this camera?
- The 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization combines with in-lens stabilization from compatible Micro Four Thirds lenses (Panasonic Lumix G lenses marked with O.I.S.), giving you shake reduction both in the body and the glass for handheld 4K video and stills at slower shutter speeds.
- Can you use the touchscreen while looking through the viewfinder?
- Yes. Touchpad AF lets you select focus points on the rear screen while your eye stays in the viewfinder, and you can assign a custom button to toggle the touchscreen on and off if you prefer manual controls.
- What video resolutions does the GX85 record?
- 4K at 3840x2160 (30p/24p), 1080p (60p, 60i, 30p, 24p), 720p (30p), and 480p (30p), all at 100 Mbps bitrate for 4K.
- What's 4K Photo mode?
- It pulls individual stills from 4K video footage, letting you grab a shot you might have missed during shooting or extract frames after the fact.
- How long does the battery last per charge?
- Panasonic rates the battery at 290 shots per charge (CIPA standard), which is modest-expect to carry a spare for a full day of shooting.
