Panasonic GX80/GX85/GX7 MkII


If I am not wrong that is an USB connector on Sony.

Yup, it uses a microusb connector, but Sony's 'MULTI' port has 10 additional contacts/pins that are added by Sony, to pass on more information compared to a standard microusb port. Stuff like shutter, zoom control. If you plug this remote into a normal microusb port (that's designed only for charging/data transfer, for example), it won't work the same way cos those additional contacts don't exist.

Hi Wonglp, does the GX85 have a tripod screw that's centred with the sensor? Can't seem to find any reviews that tell us this

Hi Lippy it is. Very useful for panorama :)
 

A shop from Funan that moved to Plaza Sing selling standard 12-32 kit at $1070 cash payment terms
 

Any idea how the Olympus M. 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R performs on this? Looking to get a cheap zoom for my new kit while the $99 promo is still on. A little worried after reading this on Amazon
"The reviews on this lens both on Amazon and photo sites were very positive, so I was excited to get such a bargain zoom. But you do get what you pay for .. the casing is very light and all plastic. When I used it on my Lumix GX85, it would click repeatedly for a long time, like it never settled in. That made me a bit nervous, so I returned it."
 

Saw this comparision in youtube.
GX 8 vs GX 85 Handheld 4k video image stabilization. Guess what? Gx 85 is Rock Solid in video!! BBB!!!
