Re: GX7 vs GX80 “Mr In-between”

They are certainly a progression but I use my GX7, GX85 and GX9 as a set with no particular attention to which camera get used for what purpose with which lens.

Seeing that you own both, can you kindly give me some answers?

Is the IQ worse in e-shutter mode on GX80/85 vs GX7? I see one uses 12bit and the other 10 bit.

Is a visible difference on dual IS 5 axis stabilization in GX80/85 vs the one in GX7?

But if it comes to just one camera then why not consider a GX9 instead of the GX80.

The GX80/85 is not as cheap as the classic defining GX7 version and not as good as the more presently competitive GX9. A sort of “Mr In-between”.

I ask because I found them at about the same price. I don't want the best possible camera, I want a cheap small camera with tilting screen, e-shutter and touch to focus so I can take a photo without being noticed.
