I think that I read somewhere that the G85/80 is weather sealed. The camera appears to have been made for the action photographer, which is borne out by the availability of an optional motor drive.
I am seriously considering the G85/80 as a sidekick for my GX8.

Motor drive? Really? What for, road racing?

Where have you seen this, because I'm really curious to know what option you mean and what it does?

The part number is DMW-BGG1

It has an extra battery compartment, which will extend the amount of time it can be used in the field before you need to fit newly charged batteries. There is also a shutter release on it so that the camera is easier to use in a vertical shooting mode.

Then I would suggest calling it a battery grip and not a motor drive...

Indeed. 'Motor drives' are so 'last century '.
