Hi Michael,

Have you tried the GX8? It has a big beautiful EVF that also works with sunglasses. Weathersealed too.

To be fair, the same statements as those above can be applied equally to the G80/G85 - big, beautiful OLED EVF (almost indistinguishable in use from the GX8 aside from the inability to tilt it or change the eyecup), and it's also weather sealed.

No, I wasn't aware that the GX8 had all 3 (OLED viewfinder, sensor shift stabilization, weather sealing). Since I've bought the G85, I probably won't use the GX8.

...Though the GX8's IBIS is more an enhanced/evolved version of the purely mechanical type initially introduced in the GX7.  It is dual-IS capable, but is mechanically more akin to the Olympus Pens (aside from the E-P5, E-PL7, E-PL8 and Pen-F - i.e. not a magnetic levitation system).

You possibly missed my earlier post where I noted that the GX8 has an OLED monitor.
