Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 is an 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 2.76 million-dot EVF.

The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. One should note that the Lumix DMC-GX85 has a 200 base ISO, which is not conducive to getting the cleanest images. The GX85's 8.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 comes with 49 autofocus points.
