One major difference I have noticed is that the GX8 runs quite warm, was using it for a few hours on friday eve and the camera got quite hot (not uncomfy but noticeable), whereas my GX85 never got warm.

Helpful on a cold winters day

Funny, but I never noticed my GX8 heating up.

On a more sensible note.

I think the GX80/85 is great. I did concider the GX9 but the price difference could not be justified.

I agree that Panasonic have a hole to fill. A direct replacement of the GX8 with the features of the GX80/85 but with the GX8's sensor and EVF plus maybe a flash

One would hope they’d include GX9 features, not features of a low-end model like the GX80/85.
