What's a lighter substitute for my Panasonic GH4?

Panasonic GH4 to G85
3

I switched from a gh4 to a g85 earlier this year, partly because the g85 is slightly smaller and lighter. The other reason of course was the ibis, which makes hand held video with prime lenses possible (at least without gimbals or software stabilization).

They're both great cameras, but I'm happy with the switch. I don't miss the headphone jack that much since I'm usually recording audio on a dedicated zoom h5, which lets me position the mics much closer to the source. If anything the g85 video quality is slightly better. Also, I was able to make a slight profit at the time selling the gh4 and buying the g85 used.

But again, you can't go wrong we either. Not switching gear is always a fine option.
