Panasonic has just announced its Lumix DMC-GX85 (GX80 outside of North America), a less expensive sibling to the Lumix GX8 that features a 16MP Live MOS sensor with no AA filter, a redesigned shutter mechanism, and 5-axis Dual IS. Panasonic claims the removal of the anti-aliasing filter boosts fine detail resolution by 10%, and an electromagnet-driven shutter mechanism aims to reduce blur from shutter shock – an issue we noted when we reviewed the GX8.


The GX85 offers 'Dual IS', which combines its 5-axis in-body stabilization with in-lens OIS, offering up to 4.5 stops of shake reduction. That's an update to the GX8's 4-axis in-body system. Naturally, the GX85 carries 4K/UHD 30p video shooting and all of the related photography features, including 4K Photo and Post Focus. Speaking of focus, the GX85 offers the same 'Depth from Defocus' system that really impressed us on the GX8.


The GX85 provides a fixed 2764K-dot equivalent electronic viewfinder, and its 3" 1.04M-dot touch screen monitor tilts up by 80° and downward by 45°. Built-in Wi-Fi and a new L. Monochrome photo style mode are also included.


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 will go on sale at the end of May for $799.99 with a 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 collapsible kit zoom.

The GH5 should also have IBIS when it comes out.
 
The sensor is m43, so, actually bigger than the one in my RX100 IV. But the lens is a lot slower as well (f/3.5-5-6 instead of f/1.8-2.8), which kills the sensor-size advantage.

Did Panasonic remember to put a headphone jack on it?

Doesn't seem to have either headphone jack or mic in

Looks like it has unlimited video recording and maybe some overheating as well:

- MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K]:
- When using an SDHC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
- When using an SDXC memory card: You can record a motion picture in a single file.
- When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

It's an interchangeable lens camera, so... you know... you can change lenses and put even 0.95 lenses on it :P
