Besides that, the smaller form factor and weight of the GX85 are really a big bonus! So also better for "street work".

My next Lumix camera is not there yet. It should have significant differences,

Yes, form factor is really important for me too. The GX85 is a perfect size for my use, and the tilting screen is something I don't want to lose either. I am also waiting for the next RF-style Lumix.

If GX10 can has mic port, same video CAF as G85 (G95 is also very good according to me trail in showroom), it could be my perfect travelling camera.

After a week's shooting with G85, I am still not very sure could the size and weight fit into my travelling need...

My right hand is used to hold the lens, and take the weight of the combo. With 12-35 f/2.8 on it, after half hour or so I started to feel the weight and my arm was tired. Never happen on GX85 or GX7 with the same lens... I really wish I have make the right move because before everything, size and weight is top on my requirement.
