The G7 has shutter-shock (I've observed it in mine); the G85 shutter is significantly improved, + it has IBIS.

I'm sure you know this already, but with the latest firmware there is an option to set the camera to use E shutter on an automatic basis. If you are straying into S/S parameters it will engage E shutter. So far I have not seen any shock on my G7 - but I know from experience it is variable from rig to rig/shot to shot.

For sure an IBIS body is a major advantage and makes lens choice more flexible.
