I had a GX85 but the screen cracked and it was expensive to replace, so I bought a G85 and I'm very happy with it, especially with the Panasonic 14-140 mk.2 lens.

However, a lot of my photography is birds, including BIF, and for that I have a Nikon D500 with a 300 f4-pf-vr and various teleconverters. That knocks the socks off the G85 with a Panasonic 100-300 mk.2 lens, unless the bird is very close, no crop needed, and is not moving very fast.

Thanks for the reply. How exactly does the Nikon perform better when compared to the G85? Is it the autofocus? Or is it just overall IQ? I'm open minded and curious to know and learn, because in my experience Panasonic has faster single point AF in still when compared to other cameras, which I then personally tested against my Canon DSLRs.

Thanks
