Looking to downsize. APS-C bodies like the Sony 6500 are a good size but the lenses still too big. I was looking at the Panasonic G7, GX8/GX9, and GX85 in the store. I like the size and handling of the G7 more than the GX8/9, but want higher spec. G5 is too big - might as well buy an A7iii at that point.

Except, as you already said, "the lenses are still too big."

Is there a higher spec G7 sized model in Japan that I'm not seeing here in the USA?

G85 is the successor to the G7. Among other new features, it has IBIS, which the G7 did not.

I could also go Olympus 10miii or 5mii, but their menu and a few other things has me leaning Panasonic. Not sure what's coming out in the near future either, but I usually stick with what's been out for a little while. I'm more interested in stills than video, but do take video as well.

Any suggestions about higher spec Panasonic in Europe or Japan markets?
