Wanting to replace my three GX7s, I compared a G85 and GX8 in a store. Despite the technical refinements of the G85 (no AA filter, reduced shutter shock, etc.), I went with the GX8 for what might seem like minor reasons.

How many GX8s did you buy???

I wound up with two GX8s and a GX85, the latter because it was compatible with Godox' X1 trigger whereas the GX7 wasn't.

I shoot with all three in my event work. Two GX8s on an OpTechUSA Dual Sling and the GX85 with a small prime on a neck strap.

Lately, though, I added an a7RII to my kit. Not sure whether I'll keep it, and, if I do, which Panasonic it will replace, if any.
