Re: G7 good enough or G85

I have a G7 and it's a superb camera. I did buy a used G80 last summer, but there were problems with the connection pins for the lenses and I had to reluctantly return it a few weeks later.

From my time with the G80 I can say that the lack of AA filter makes a definite improvement to photo IQ. Everything was so much sharper. The IBIS was a dream for video, and useful for stills too.

I liked these features so much I picked up a GX80 (which has IBIS and no AA filter) as a secondary cam, and I find I'm now using it more than the G7.

At the moment I'm holding off for a successor to the G80 as I do prefer the DSLR style, but every time I see a thread like this a little voice inside my head tells me I should get one now.
