Re: Travel camera and possibly more.

+ 1 for the G85 and 12-60mm combo.  For the price, it really is a huge bang-for-the-buck.

I've shot a lot of camera systems over the past 5 years (30D, X-Pro1, X-T1, K-5 IIs, now G85), and I can say the G85 has both the broadest feature set of the bunch as well as the fewest annoyances in use.  The IQ isn't quite what you get with APS-C, but it holds up good enough for my uses, and can be partially mitigated with the very effective Dual IS capabilities of the G85.  Even with the kit lens, I've been able to handhold pin-sharp shots up to two seconds!

The G85 is a great gateway camera into the world of video - mine has been a hoot to use paired with a Mitakon 25mm f/0.95.  The smooth IBIS, shallow DoF and low light video capabilities are pretty awesome for a $900 camera body.
