For just $547.99, down from its list price of $899.99. The G85 has sold at roughly $899 for the last 180 days, so this price cut stands out against its own recent history.

It is not quite the lowest figure ever recorded, but with the unit priced about $350 below its 90-day average. This is one of the deeper discounts since launch.

What You're Getting

This is a full mirrorless kit, not a body-only deal. The G85 pairs a 16-megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor with the 12-60mm Power O.I.S.

lens, giving you around half the bulk of a typical DSLR.

- Dual Image Stabilization: In-body 5-axis stabilization works for both photos and motion, including 4K video, for steadier handheld shots in low light.

- 4K video capture: Records 3840 x 2160, plus Lumix 4K Photo and Post Focus let you pull stills at up to 30fps and adjust focus after the shot.

- Live viewfinder and flip LCD: An eye-level OLED viewfinder (2360K dots) pairs with a 3-inch touch-enabled tilt LCD (1040K dots).

- Fine detail resolution: The sensor skips the low-pass filter for a boost in resolving power over earlier 16MP MFT sensors.

Who This Is For

Best for photographers moving up from a phone or a point-and-shoot who want 4K video and in-body stabilization without hauling a full-frame rig. The kit lens covers a useful everyday range right out of the box, so there is no immediate lens spend.

If you already own a higher-end MFT body, the G85 is not a step forward, so skip it and wait for a deal on something newer.

Final Verdict

The dual stabilization and 4K capture on their own justify the $547.99 price for a first mirrorless camera. Grab this now if you want the kit before the listing moves, since the price has not been this close to its low in months.
