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.

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

G80/85 is the successor of G7.

GX is another line of product on rangefinder form factor and having a few things omitted e.g. Mic in port, certain AF setting, non WR etc. So is a more causual model to the G line in a more compact form (resulted a smaller viewfinder).

GX8 has a mic input, is WR (weather-resistant), has a fantastic viewfinder, and I'm not aware of omitted AF settings. It is known that they downgraded the GX9 in many ways.
