Product Gallery
Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G85 is a affordable mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Panasonic in 2016, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 16 MP (4592 x 3448) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.

The DMC-G85 comes with a fully articulated touch display and 49 autofocus points.
