No doubt GX8 is a premium class camera. But mirrorless is a highly technology driven product and as long as possible (budget and options), I shall look forward instead of backward.

If size of GX8 be of your satisfaction, and you need WR, might be a G85, which has all the latest hardware as GX85, be a better option?

There is no comparison between the GX8 and G80/85. I have them both. If it wasn't for the electro mechanical shutter and the focus bracketing feature on the G80, I would be using the GX8 all of the time.  The image quality of the GX8 is superior. It's the main reason why I use it for colour critical work. And at lower ISO I get far less noise from the GX8 pictures. Then there is that viewfinder image to die for. Even the mighty G9 can't beat the GX8 viewfinder.
