Hi - no problem, glad to try and help. With the 100-300 on the GX85, I switched the lens IS on and off (via the lens switch) but did not check the body to see the IBIS status, or even if there was ...

It appears so.  I was only really playing around with the 2 long zooms, and did not have that much time with the camera, but looking at the LCD view at 600 and 800mm EFL, the image changed from ...

I have had a chance to play with one: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/57604797 Call me impressed! I agree with your post - well said, all your points are spot on.  This new body, especially now ...

Thanks, looking forward to this camera!

I can say this for sure - the GX85 viewfinder is a big step up from the GM5.  The GM view is really sharp, and I am happy with it too (considering how small the body is), but the view is quite ...

I have read the same thing somewhere too (about the 100-300 lens IS not working in tandem with the GX IBIS), but based on this initial, very quick, very unscientific test, I have some reason to ...

Good point, I did not take that into consideration. I would still want to stick with DXO for shots at high ISO because their Prime NR is sooooo good.  Also - from this example, I am not sure if ...

In DXO when exporting out to jpg, a strange thing with the program is when selecting 100% jpg quality, the output jpg size is very large: -Original RAW file: 19.4 meg -OOC JPG: 7.2 meg -DXO JPG ...

I am probably going to pickup the new GX85 when it is released some time next month. I am using DXO Optics Pro as my raw converter of choice, but DXO will take some time to update the program to ...

I was able to recently try out the new GX85. As a bonus, much of the Panasonic lens lineup was also available and I was able to change lenses and use the camera as I saw fit, but could not write ...

I am also waiting to see what possible next GM body Pany will release to follow the already excellent GM5, but after seeing the GX85 announcement I am a little skeptical if they will continue the ...

I picked up the JB grip recently for my GM5 and highly recommend it. I just shot a wedding with this setup and it was very comfortable during the entire day and evening. For certain shots I was ...

I am a little torn on this, because I would like to see either a possible tilt & swivel or just tilt rear LCD added on the next GM, but I don't want to see the size increase.  Maybe a few mm ...

I bought my GM5 about a year ago, just before going on a family trip. I wanted something smaller and lighter than my GH3, but did not want to give up image quality. The local camera chain where I ...

Thanks! Yup - the camera is easy to overlook, but it is a powerhouse.

Thanks. I am still learning more about the Optics Pro software each time I use it.  Lot's of options but I am enjoying the learning process.

Many thanks! Let those ISO gates open, but also the NR in the DXO software helps a lot too.

Many thanks Tom! I am so impressed with the GM's.  Big sensor in a very small body and great ergonomics.  It is a killer package!

Thanks!

I hear you.  The more I am using Optics Pro, I am moving away from Photoshop, except when I need to do anything more fancy, or if I want to use filters from my Topaz Labs plugins but I am only ...
