    OK, we will know for sure next week...

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    My sources sure about 422, may be it is 1080p. Who knows.

  • liorkliork

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev Are you sure it does record 4:2:2 internally? The press release says UHD 100mbps as before, shouldn't it be more with 4:2:2?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    @shoe_e

    Who told that it does not have 24p?

  • shoe_eshoe_e

    not having 24p is kind of frustrating.

  • Manu4VendettaManu4Vendetta

    Some idea about CineLike, V-LOG and 96 or 120 fps for slow motion?

  • DrDaveDrDave

    Any word on CineD?

    The G80 is very feature-rich this time around, so much so that the GH5 will have to add more than just 4K 60P in order to justify it's price premium. Feeling pretty good that the GH will be a monster of a camera with 10 bit internal, quality high speed overcranking, possible Raw recording over HDMI and maybe even an exclusive sensor.

    B&H is pleased to share Panasonic's announcement of their latest mirrorless release, the DMC-G85, which brings a familiar set of features to a new form factor. This versatile Micro Four Thirds mirrorless model utilizes the 16MP Live MOS sensor to provide a sensitivity range up to ISO 25600, 6 fps shooting with continuous autofocus, and UHD 4K recording at 30p. This 4K ability enables the use of 4K Photo Modes, too, for shooting 8MP stills at 30 fps in three ways. Five-axis sensor-shift image stabilization limits camera shake for sharper results, and supports Dual I.S. when used in conjunction with select lenses which also feature IS, for more effective overall stabilization. The ergonomic design of the body incorporates a 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder and a free-angle 3.0" 1.04m-dot LCD touchscreen, and built-in Wi-Fi permits remote camera control and wireless image sharing with a mobile device. Adding to the potential of the G85 is an optional DMW-BGG1 Battery Grip, which holds two DMW-BLC12 battery packs for extended shooting time, and offers a second shutter-release button, AF/AE lock button, exposure-compensation button, and dual-control dials for more ergonomic vertical shooting.

    All the images and specs are in first post, remember.

    Camera has 422 recording mode, do not worry.

    No mention of 422 :-(

  • smoke23smoke23

    I wonder if the HDMI will still shut off when you hit record. That's one feature of the G7 I hate.

    I updated first post.

    Seems to be almost exact GH4 features but with 5 axis stab, just different design.

    From 43rumors.

    (FT4) First info about the G8x camera:

    I got two more information about the new Panasonic G80 camera (name not confirmed yet) that will be announced on September 19:

    Source 1:

    “It isn’t an entry level G7/G70 – it’s a step up Weathersealing and next level Dual IS are the main feature improvements. 4:2:2 8bit recording on SD card!”

    Source 2:

    “It is basically a G7 updated to GX85 internal specs. They did not have the name nailed down at the meeting”

  • GrimorGrimor

    G80 a.k.a. GH5 for poors. Probably in the end of september we have the G80 and the GH5 official specs and price. Then we need to decide how much money can spend in a new body.

  • Isaac_BIsaac_B

    Any word on IBIS in this camera?

    Since I haven't heard anything, I am guessing this may not be included and perhaps it will be in the GH5. After using IBIS in the GX85, I can't see picking up another Panasonic body without it.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    According to a trusted source the camera will record 4K at has 4:2:2 8bit on internal SD cards.

    43rumors.

  • GrimorGrimor

    Launch postponed to September 19? http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-panasonic-g80-launch-postponed-september-19/

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Most probably around 2018

  • Manu4VendettaManu4Vendetta

    When the GH40 and the GM50?

  • VeskuVesku

    I hope G8 will be the first Panasonic camera showing exposure values during video recording.

  • AriaAria

    @Scot, i'm guessing the G8 w lens will be about $825.00 on release. The G7 was $799.00 with kit lens when new.

  • ScotScot

    @Aria I agree love my G7 it's a baby GH4 and was overlooked by many so price drop. That being said I also really love in camera stabilization. So I would love to see the G80 get stabilization and clean HDMI out as in the GX85. The point I was making if it gets those without losing anything it already has what will it cost?

  • AriaAria

    @Scot, the G7 was one of the more affordable Panasonics and prices dropped very quickly. If a G8 has the same or better Sensor to the GX85, i'll be jumping for joy. I've lived off the lower end Panasonics for years now and I expect that to continue. The G7 has been a major upgrade for me. The local jobs I get have never looked better and the camera is easy to use. If a G8 has even slightly better features I would be happy. I hope I make enough to go for a GH5 whenever that is released but for not the G7 or a G8 is closer to my budget.

  • ScotScot

    I think everyone is getting a little over the top with expectations. If they put everything that's in the GX85 into the G80 and than give us the best of the features we loved in the G7 it's going to hit a price point higher than the GX85. So maybe it won't be what your imagining or will cost more than you want to pay.
