Would 10 bits with e-shutter on GX80/85 mean worse IQ than 12 bits on GX7? The majority of shooting would be with electronic shutter so that is important to me.

In real life the difference is not really observable. As we have 14~140 on GX85 (my wife loves the lens), e-shutter is the best solution otherwise shutter shock might still be there despite of the improved m-shutter. Not really noted the real disadvantage of 10 bits output on the SOOC jpg.

Really? I have a G6 and G7 with that lens fitted and there is shutter shock at certain speeds. This is partly mitigated on the G7 when set to auto-shutter-type.

However I have never seen the slightest sign of shutter shock with the new shutter fitted to the GX80/85, which I also own and use with the 14-140 and other lenses. Never ever seen any sign of it at whatever mechanical-shutter speed.
