What should be a better video camera alternative to someone intending to by Lumix GX-80 for vids?

I learned to like the making of the videos due to the "additional" video function of the photographic cameras, my next cam for that purpose should be the FX-80, yet I am very curious if there could be a video camera with the similar price & portability providing the better VIDEO quality. The lack of the microphone port is of no importance for me, I use binaural micros with a digital recorder. Some video camera capable of making "photos"would be relevant.

I thank you in advance for every good suggestion.
 
I am planning to fetch the newly released G80/85. Maybe with its 5-axis IBIS I won't even need a gimbal! Recording options (internal 422) are also great.
 
I use the Sony HDR-PJ675 camcorder. No need for tripod. Videos are steady even while running. Good low light. Still camera function or stills while recording. Good continuous focus. Quick and easy to use. Small and fits in palm of hand. 50 power zoom. Price around $600 U.S. I no longer use my camera for videos. Shoots 1080 no 4K. Excellent videos.
 
I like very much the size, the IS and the lack of rolling shutter of your camera - to my mind, these little video recorders still do not have adequate sharpness, color fidelity and low light abilities compared to the video-weighted photographic cameras from the Panasonic and Sony midrange.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
