Re: GX85 is a great camera

I think you are looking at the right camera in terms of size, performance and price. The GX85 is a very responsive and capable camera. Its one achilles heel is the smaller than it should be EVF. But even with that, I still think it is fantastic. Great IBIS, amazing video quality that is stabilized, and really just a dearth of choices for lenses.

I think you'd be pretty happy with its capabilities, even shooting wide angle with that Oly lens.

I agree the EVF is the achilles heel, and should have been replaced with a screen that flips up, and they should have added a mic jac.  Then it would have been perfect...

I see the gx85 as jack of all trades, master of none.  Its just really good at what it does, come to think of it, if they had just added a mic jack it would have been perfect.  Maybe too perfect...
