There are three major improvements to G85 vs G7:

  1. shock-free mechanical shutter
  2. IBIS
  3. weather resistance

IBIS is a pretty big deal if you're interested in shooting video but don't want to work on tripod or stabilizer rig.

Also, the G85 with the 12-60 is a very versatile kit with a solid lens. I would say that it's worth the difference in price, especially if you want to use it for handheld video.

I still maintain that the G85 with the 12-60 kit lens is the best all-around camera under US$1000 new, from any manufacturer, particularly for video. It's excellent value for money.
