Very impressed with the noise compared to the GH4, even cropping the the frame to match the GH4, the noise is much controlled.

I wonder how much the GX85 better high iso is the result of better in-camera processing and how much sensor itself. Can the GH4 4k video be as good when post processed heavily?

Is GX85 RAW photos better in high iso than GH4 RAW photos?

Rumors say the GH5 trusts heavy processing and not so superior sensor.

@Vesku We know two things are different in the GX85 relevant to IQ:

1. There is no anti-aliasing filter, which should increase resolution for the same sensor and processing (if they are the same) and
2. improved processing has reduced moire that would otherwise increase as a result of the lack of an anti-aliasing filter. The processor chip is I think new, along with algorithms.

Panasonic sensor progress almost stopped.

Some aspects of quality, image or otherwise, cannot be captured by numbers.

12-32mm + 45-150mm Lumix lenses + ND.

Bolt on Minolta 50mm. Camera says: Change aperture? I hit the 50mm button. Double tap on the image to get focus magnification. Then shoot handheld with IS on my lens from 1979. So, I know that Olympus pioneered this tech, and Panasonic is late to the game, but this is pretty good tech. It's worth remembering that the reason I tried m43 in the first place was to use my old lenses.

An attempt at some street night videography with the Oly 75mm f/1.8:

That's some impressive unimpaired vision work there markr041 ;-)

Further to my post above: I've tried this before, the night street videography with the Oly 75mm f/1.8. I find the 150mm equiv focal length completely unusable hand held. Even with a monopod I get mostly unusable results. I find it possible to get reasonably steady static shots if handled with great care (kneeling, monopod steadied against chest or with the tilting eyepiece resting against eye socket (GX8)), however as soon as any movement's introduced it's incredibly challenging to keep things smooth. The monopod also requires a certain degree of deliberacy which invariably draws a lot of unwanted attention.

I tried with a Pilotfly H1+ once and did a little better, but still the panning was a bit of a mess. Most problematic was keeping a moving subject where I wanted it in the frame. The slight delay in the gimbal's response was too much for that focal length. And of course it also draws its fair share of attention from curious onlookers.

So I had no expectations of the GX80's IBIS doing any better. I even almost left the Oly 75mm at home, thinking I'd just take the 20mm f/1.7 and Oly 45mm f/1.8.

But I'm glad I did take the 75mm because I couldn't be any more thrilled with the results. I'm genuinely stupified at how capable it is. It's so much fun to handhold a 150mm equiv non-stabilised lens and come away with rock solid results and reasonably smooth pans.

@markr041 It was the L.Monochrome yeah. I quite like it as well. Some of the shots were a little washed out but I think that's something a lens hood would've helped with.
