Sweet spot: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 real-world samples
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 has the makings of one sweet camera. It uses a well-regarded 16MP Four Thirds sensor (with no AA filter), is 4K capable and features Panasonic's depth from defocus AF system.
Packed inside a sleek, customizable body, the GX85 features a new shutter mechanism that appears to solve the thorny issue of shutter shock, a problem that plagued its big brother, the GX8. The GX85 also features 5-axis sensor stabilization (compared to 4-axis on the GX8) with Dual I.S.. When used with a Panasonic OIS lens, Dual I.S. combines sensor shift and lens shift stabilization.
DPReview writer Dan Bracaglia has been using the GX85 for a while, and as well as various locations around Seattle he also took it on a recent trip to New Jersey.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
