I can see this is beginning to become somewhat of an obsession with you.

So, just off hand, how much do you think each of the below features added to the final price of the new Panasonic G85?

16MP Four Thirds MOS sensor w/o optical low pass filter

  • 5-axis image stabilization with Dual I.S. 2
  • Splash/dust-proof body
  • Depth from Defocus AF
  • 2.36M-dot OLED EVF
  • 3-inch 1.04M-dot fully-articulating touchscreen LCD
  • 4K video / photo
  • Focus stacking and post focus

Again, just curious.

Still seems like Canon could have added a lot more to the M5 than they did.

Indeed. No matter what some Canon afficionados will claim, the M5 is way overpriced for what it offers. I really don't care about DPAF sensors being expensive to produce or not, it's what I get in return for my money that's important. Looking at what others brands are offering for the same amount of money, I don't even consider the M5. (No need to start summing up pros and cons for various brands at this point, I'll be my own judge, thank you.)

Also, the whole idea of this thread is kind of childish, isn't it? Using a vote to back a claim about a property of a camera... As if a referendum will tell you who's right and who's wrong, jus task the British.
