Hey all,

I was mainly debating between GX85 and G85. They both have somewhat good in body stabilization for video, but I ended up with G85 because I need both the weather sealing(for extra peace of mind) and the mic input for my Youtube needs.

However, I was pretty surprised to find out that the camera is still extremely relevant today, a few years after it was debuted, and it was still a great all around camera. I was aware about the new wave of full frame mirrorless cameras, and was thinking about switching to a new system just to stay relevant. But boy oh boy, that G85 does everything so well and I am just happy with my decision to stay in the MFT world!

Any similar stories? Interested to hear what makes you stay in MFT so far

That G85 has a pretty lousy useless auto-iso, I think the G90 does this much better, like my G9, I think.

If you have a good auto-iso, that makes photography so much easier ...

For the rest, that G85 is good.

Jozef.
