Probably because of return deadline. He can always buy the camera back later if the firmware really make a difference.

The advanced manual will be your reference: ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/om/dmc-gx85_en_adv_om.pdf If you are able to display on a TV, then I'm not seeing why it won't work on a field monitor. ...

Maybe workflow is not the right word, but just the freedom you get to crop, zoom, pan, stabilize without losing quality can be a huge advantage that makes the creator's life a lot easier. I would ...

I've been a Nikon fan for a while, but statements like this is part of the reason why I didn't hold out for any hope of a serious Nikon mirrorless product (esp a crop sensor one). Glad I didn't...

But this thread is talking about 4K cameras. It's the creators that are buying such cameras, not the audience. If the creator finds the 4K workflow as better for them, that is equally as important ...

I think his point is that both the creator and audience want certain features and they are both important. For example some features may make the workflow better or more convenient, but would be ...

This site shows historic Amazon prices. So as long as Amazon had carried the given camera, then it will show the price: https://camelcamelcamel.com/

Even resolution-wise some will be able to see the difference. It all depends on the size of the TV, viewing distance, and eyesight of the viewer. However, for monitors it's just the viewing ...

E-M10 III US price is $650 body only, $800 with 14-42EZ + case + SD card. GX85 with 12-32 with current discounts is $700 (suggest base price is $800, although there have been sales that brought it ...

Yes, I know that, that's why I said "semi-serious" is the market that desires a mic jack the most. A external mic would still be a huge step up on practically any in-camera mics because in-camera ...

In Photoshop (at least the version I have) when you can choose Bicubic, Bicubic Smoother, or Bicubic Sharper. They suggest using the last option for downsizing and it automatically applies ...

Maybe your example was supposed to be illustrative only, but in the video comparison tool for 1080p, the GH5 does look sharper than the G85, but the a6500 looks like complete mush compared to the ...

I guess you can say semi-serious has the most need for a mic port. Yes, the ones who are really serious and professional would have no problem using an external recorder, syncing the audio afterwards.

Depends on how you are consuming media. For a TV, 4K probably doesn't matter that much due to viewing distance. However, many people now consume media on their computers too, and most people can ...

The GX85 does not unfortunately and this is made worst given it seems the GX85 eyepiece itself doesn't really have a cup. I think a eyecup will go a long way to improving the EVF. It would make it ...

The body only version has been discontinued for a while in the US. There's plenty of stock with a 12-60 kit lens. Maybe your retailers sold off the last stock and Panasonic also discontinued in ...

Change to a E-M1 II with its much bigger grip and a 14-42 PZ and the size difference is still there (although for SLR style body the class of camera people would more likely opt for an E-M10): The ...

Lol, I'd like to live in a world where even an entry level DSLR with kit zoom is anywhere near the size of a m43 with a pancake zoom. Then I wouldn't have had to buy a GX85 if I was able to shove ...
