Panasonic Lumix G80 G85 review by Gordon Laing: “one of the best at its price point”

I am a big fan of those 1 hour reviews from Gordon Laing! So take out your popcorn and watch it :) And the full text review can be read at CameraLabs. The wrap up:

Panasonic’s Lumix G80 / G85 is a feature-packed camera that stacks-up very well against its rivals. As a mid-range mirrorless camera, you’ll enjoy the usual features including a decent viewfinder, articulated touch-screen, loads of manual control and built-in Wifi, but the G80 / G85 goes the extra mile with great quality 4k video, built-in stabilisation that rivals industry leader Olympus, and a weather-sealed body and kit zoom. Panasonic’s unique 4k Photo modes let you extract stills from video, refocus and even adjust the depth-of-field after the event, and while continuous autofocus during fast bursts is bettered by some rivals, it’ll still track action at 3-6fps with big zooms, and the single autofocus remains one the best around. Overall I find it hard to think of a better general-purpose all-rounder at this price point – highly recommended!

Micke Seid‎:https://vimeo.com/199696448 Some really ancient Rauk formations on beautiful Fårö, in the middle of the Baltic Sea just north of Gotland. A truly magic place. Maybe that’s why Ingmar Bergman used to live here. I’m lucky to dwell nearby for parts of the year.
And by the way, naturally the film is shot with decent m43 gear! :)
