  • Improved algorithm or what making ISO 6400 of GX85 close to ISO 3200 of GX7. So GX85 can use ISO 3200 without much hesitation,

Looking at Dpreview's comparison shots at ISO 6400 and 3200, in raw and jpeg, I don't see that difference at all.

  • Zebra alert, Focus Peaking etc just make GX85 be more enjoyable to use.

FWIW, the GX7 also has focus peaking.

The only strength of GX7 is of it's cheaper cost (GX85 is very cost friendly already). For 8 bits jpeg shooter, the 12 bits e-shutter of GX7 vs 10 bits of GX85 might not be a concern at all.

The GX7 has other advantages but I think for most people, the GX85 comes out on top in terms of pros and cons.
