Score: 80/100Rankings
The Fujifilm X-T5 is a compact APS-C mirrorless camera featuring a 40.2 MP sensor, 7-stop IBIS and 6.2K video, delivering high-resolution stills and advanced video capabilities. Trade-offs include the lack of a built-in flash, uncertain weather sealing and a non-articulating screen. Best for photographers and creators who prioritize resolution and stabilization while accepting a modestly sealed body.
The Panasonic LUMIX G85 is a 2016 Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera featuring a 16 MP sensor, 5-axis in-body stabilization and 4K video. Its older sensor and limited battery life for 4K recording are notable trade-offs. It suits hybrid photo-video enthusiasts who value ruggedness and stabilization.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers and editors commend the G85 for delivering solid image quality, robust 5-axis stabilization and a weather-sealed chassis at a competitive price, emphasizing its suitability for hybrid shooters and vloggers. However, they criticize the lack of phase-detect AF, the older 16 MP sensor and modest battery life when shooting 4K, noting that newer Micro-Four-Thirds models offer higher resolution and faster autofocus.
Everyday users consistently praise the camera's rugged, weather-proof design, effective stabilization and flexible touchscreen for travel and vlogging, while common complaints focus on short battery life during 4K recording, occasional autofocus lag in dim lighting, and the edge softness of the bundled lens.
“impressive image and video quality plus 4K technology”
Professional reviewers commend the X-T5 for delivering a high-resolution 40 MP sensor, industry-leading 7-stop IBIS, and advanced 6.2K video with RAW output, all while retaining Fujifilm's beloved dial-centric ergonomics. Criticisms focus on the missing built-in flash, ambiguous weather sealing, and the video crop in the highest-resolution mode.
Everyday users appreciate the X-T5's high-resolution sensor, lightweight body, and intuitive dial layout, often citing the camera's ability to deliver detailed images while remaining portable. However, potential buyers express concerns about limited battery endurance and the absence of a built-in flash, especially for travel and low-light situations.
