Imaging-Resource published an extensive ISO comparison that includes the Nikon D500, Fujifilm X-T2, and more against the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II. Surprisingly, the camera does very well, except in the reds. You can see the comparison here. They also posted their M.Zuiko ED 25 f/1.2 Pro review here.

DPReview Completed Their Review of The Panasonic G85

panasonicg85dpr
DPReview completed their review of the Panasonic G85 and they awarded it with a Gold Award. It seems the camera is pretty great beyond it’s JPEG performance and lowish end video abilities. It’s good to see such a reasonably priced camera perform so well. DPReview heaps high praise on the G85 by saying “the Panasonic G85 is the camera I will be recommending to enthusiasts for the foreseeable future.” You can read the full review here.
