Re: Panasonic body, Olympus 4/3 lenses best options? G85 any good?

As an amateur for 50 years shooting with Nikons, Pentax, Oly, and Panny among others, I've "graduated" to m4/3 with a G6, G7, and now a G85. For me, 16mp is more than sufficient using quality glass, shooting RAW. I still print and 11"x19" is my yardstick.

Nearly any new camera has the potential image quality and "accessory abilities" that one needs or wants to play with, but for each of us, when needing or wanting to work, there's a "pair of boots" that fit our needs like no other.  Saying that, ergonomics, ease of programming, focusing accuracy, and now stabilization of primes are at the top of my "requirement ladder".

I chose the G6 at the time mostly for it's feel in my hands.  After much use, the G7  emerged with huge improvements in every category where the G6 was lacking.  Now, the G85 has taken that even farther.  Personally, I've never used a camera of any make which has pleased me more.  Since you have used a G6, at its price, the G85 will not disappoint you, believe me!
