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.

Never ceases to surprise me how many people answer the OP without reading through and seeing if their post is still relevant. Not saying don’t give your opinion, but at least put it in the right context since in this case OP has now bought a camera.

Max5150, enjoy your G85!
