Re: Trimming the m43 fat from my collection and expectations

What do you think of the Panasonic G85. Did not see that on your list?

I have been very torn as this is a second camera meant to be a step up from my Sony RX-10 ii, the one with the 24-200 2.8 zoom I think it is.

My main system is the Nikon D750 and I have all fast glass. It is just too much to carry if not on a photo job. I have the battery grip as well on it so it makes it big.

The video side in this second camera has importance as well as using external mic when on vacation or just anytime I want to grab it to record and shoot.

On my list for small camera

Nikon D5500 with 16-80,16-85, 18-140, 18-200, some kind of all in one idea

Sony A6300 as the A6500 is just more than I want to spend now. With the 18-105

Panasonic GX8 and G85 with 12-60, 12-35 and maybe 45.2 and or 45-175 or 35-100

Fuji XT-1 with 18-135

I like the idea of the Panasonic 12-60 mm and just being a smaller camera system

I did buy and try the GX-8 and was not thrilled with the skin tones. I just ordered the G85 to try. If this camera still does not meet my expectations I think Sony is next, however I am not sure about the ergonomics

Nikon would be ok but am not sure by the time I add a lenses how big this will get maybe same for Fuji , but Fuji video is a fail. If I could forget about video Fuji might be better.

I hope the G85 works out etc
