You are very correct in what you state about the GX80/GX85. I have the same camera and this was despite owning a LX100.

The GX80 coupled with the 12-32 kit lens makes it a beast of a camera at the price it is sold at, circa £350-£400 in the UK. I was able to pick mine up for £309 brand new with a 2 year warranty.

Prior to making the purchase I was looking at the Em5 M2, G80/G85 and the Gx8 also but as soon as the GX80 went on offer I snapped it up.

I recently played with the GX9 though I have no need for the features it has I did like the grip of the camera, so much more comfortable.

Photography, for me is a hobby so I can't justify spending thousands on bodies and lenses.

Let's see what Panasonic bring to Photokina, a G90 is rumoured.

The LX100 is what brought me to Panasonic, but when I got the GX85 with the prime, it was hard to stay with the LX100.  That said if the new version was weather proof with a mic jack I would have one.
