Nicholas:I thought I’d share my real world test of the Panasonic GX85 of a wedding I filmed on Sunday 100% completely handheld. I haven’t really seen a real world test yet of this camera so I thought I’d share it in case you would like to share it with your readers. Most reviews are theoretical or casual shoots, no story to them, so I thought this would be a refreshing view on this fabulous camera! It felt really good to be able to leave the monopod, tripod, slider and steadicams at home for a change. Felt super liberated! More details are in the Vimeo description if you’re curious.
