Would that help with the z-axis issues when walking you sometimes get with handheld gimbals?

What exact issues? Bumping from steps?

In this case you need to think if few millimeter movement of sensor can fix few centimeters bump (for untrained person).

I bought the kit, because as much as I love my 12-35, I feel the reach isn't quite enough. The 60mm reach is a really nice bit of extra zoom when you're walking around. Having the weather sealing is definitely a bonus too as I'm used to it with my 12-35. I would say the IQ is quite incredible actually! I have the MKI version of the 14-140 and it is quite soft through the range especially at the zoom, but having tried the MKII, I know it is quite sharp all the way through so it really depends what sort of range you're looking for.

@drdave The issue has been completely fixed! I'm assuming you're referring to the video of the handheld 100-400mm at 400mm.

The GX85 shows the same as the g85 at that focal length for video when handheld. That's an insane expectation to be able to shoot handheld at that focal length!

Really cool feature @vesku thanks for pointing that out!!

anyone can confirm that works fine on it both the Metabones XL (0.64x) & T (0.71x) SpeedBoosters? Thanks in advance!

@Grimor , thanks!

@DrDave - how does CineD compare to Natural?

@4CardsMan I often use CineD with Leeming lut. Pulls a bit more of everything out of the sensor. Not good for every single scene but gives you more DR, for sure and the color and sharpness grade easily. The after-lut results I would describe as close to neutral, between Standard and Natural, but easy to adjust.

Does anybody know if there any cages available for the G85? My intention is to add a sound recorder/amp and perhaps a led light plus a small power bank USB battery. More than price, I am looking for quality. Thanks!

Moiré, welcome back!

Artifacts and moiré can be problematic from the Panasonic G85

While removing the OLPF means sharper images, it also means that G85 is more susceptible to moiré when shooting subjects with small, repeating patterns, such as feathers. Moiré is typically very difficult to remove in post-processing, so it is worth keeping in mind when shooting certain subjects. There are a few things you can do to avoid moiré, although it is not always feasible to do so. You can change the focal length or your distance from the subject, you can slightly adjust focus, shoot from a different angle or stop down your lens far enough that you get diffraction, which can soften the image enough to eliminate the artifact. If you're photographing a subject that you think will cause problems, be sure to view your subject at 100%.

Dpreview did a comparison between G7 and G8, showing resolution difference in 4k video. The resolution improvement in G8 is not significant compared to G7. So the moiré problem in G8 probably was deliberate made to force video people to buy the GH5.

Panasonic release G8 before GH5 with moiré and without 4k60p, so who needs dual i.s. for a lower price buy the G8, and people who can pay more will buy the GH5 (hope the AA filter will not be removed in GH5)... marketing behavior.
