So, I ended up buying a used Panasonic G85 with a 12-60mm 3.5-5.6 lens last week. I really like the way it handles. It feels great in my hands, however, the 4-way buttons on the back are a bit small and could use improved tactility. I'll probably put a dab of moldable rubber on top of them. Anyway, the menu layout is very good. I even like the way it sounds!

I was taking pictures of my kid's soccer game this weekend (when the players were close enough for the 12-60mm lens), and was surprised by the excellent job the G85 did. Focus was fast and spot on, with no dud's. I couldn't believe it!

Time will tell whether IQ and low light performance fulfills my needs. If not, then I may take look at the Fuji system. Nevertheless, I think Panasonic makes a hell of a camera, and the G85 is a great example. My only wish is that Panasonic will update this form factor with a really good state of the art sensor.

Glad you enjoy it! You'll have fun with this one.
