That is cheap, I bought it at $1070 in October, 1 Sandisk Ultra 16gb (which I don't think i'll use) and 2nd (original) battery.
Prepare to have 5 batteries if you plan to go on a trip.

donno why i seem to keep going back to panasonic(the small cams)..old LX3 then GX1, then GM1 and now GX85... the GX85 doesnt have a ext charger!, but lucky the charger from GX1 seem to fit...haha..i bought it to try out the 5 axis stabilise 4k video ..was aiming for sony a6500 but too ex, i only have 28mmf2 and 50mmf1.8 for my old A7s..so for video i need to buy 10-18 or 16-50 which means >3k to spend, but i have a lot of m43 lens, so m43 for the time being for video.
Buy an external charger from Alan Photo, that Steinzeiser brand, good and cheap, it have a USB out so you can charger 1 battery and the other in the camera. I don't mind the 3rd party brand charger but I prefer original brand batteries.
I bought 'J.B Camera Designs' wooden grip (in Peruvian Walnut) and hotshoe cover for my GX85. I love it.
Why would you need 5 batteries?, unless you camp out.
I got 1000 pics daily (on a trip) with 2 batteries....
IMHO, if have to exhaust 3 batteries, then I will miss the main fun of the trip, ie sight seeing and enjoy the trip.... unless it is a specifically photo trip or you are on an assignment.
I have only 2 and maybe going to get one more, just in case and as backup... But I can't see exhausting 3 in a day. Just my opinion only.

I have 6 batteries now. Sometimes going to carshow in abroad I would have used up 3 or 4, then in the night go walk walk or shopping. 6 is good for me on trips abroad alone. Luckily the batteries are not too big physical size.
Just a quick check.
GX85 come with Body-in image stabilization and if i use attach an Olympus lens that has LENS stabilization i can't find Dual stabilization right on GX85 right (only body stabilization)?
So the golden rule is
Panasonic body + Panasonic Lens (OIS) = Dual IS
Same for Olympus body + Olympus lens with stabilization = dual image stabilization

Wow!! Very nice!
It's very good. Very ergonomics. It feels like another camera all together. Lots of confidence when holding onto the camera now.
Thanks for your reply. A very good deal for the GX85 lens kit at 30% discount from the current $999.
I am thinking of the silver JDM model GX7 Mark II, which retailing at ¥75k before tax. That will be slightly less than $900. 2 clarifications which I tried to find on the web but fruitless so far; 1- Does the JDM models have English menu or language option, 2- Will 220v charging be available as Jap using 110v. Thanks.
