Re: Panasonic G80/85 for events

I got a G80 to replace my aging E-M1.1 last week. It's fantastic! I'm extremely happy with it, and in most important areas, it surpasses the Olympus.

I've done quite a bit of serious work with the Olympus, so I imagine the G85 would certainly be up to the task.

Ergonomics are great, IQ is the best I've got from the 16 mpix sensor (identical to E-M1 in raw, better in jpeg, after some tweaking), and autofocus feels much more positive than on the E-M1 where I always felt the AF kind of hesitant (though it did the job fine most of the time).
