There are a couple of new interesting deals for filmmakers available. We selected the best 10 offers of filmmaking gear from our partners’ online shops for this week. Including Panasonic GX85, FUJIFILM X-T2, Syrp Genie, Insta360 Pro and more.

I went through the current deals on our partners’ websites and selected the top 10 offers currently available, which I think could be interesting for you. First, there are B&H offers listed for our readers based in North and South America and then a couple of deals from our European partner CVP. By shopping at our affiliate partners’ stores you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.

Now, let’s take a look at this week’s top 10 deals for filmmakers:

B&H: Panasonic GX85 Camera with 12-32mm and 45-150mm Lenses – $400 Discount


To start off this week’s deals I have chosen the Panasonic GX85 (in Europe known as GX80). The camera has 16MP MFT sensor with 5-axis image stabilization. It shoots UHD 4K video at up to 30 fps (100Mbps bitrate) or 1080p video up to 60fps but in much lower bitrate of 28Mbps. The rather small camera body has 2.76m-dot 0.7x electronic viewfinder and 3.0″ 1.04m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD. ISO is available from 200 to 25600.

Part of this set are also two lenses – the “pancake zoom” Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 and the Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4-5.6.
