I've got a GH1 that I really like but of course now I"m tempted by the new stuff. This Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX85 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera is catching my eye. At first I discounted it as I didn't think it has a viewfinder, but I guess it does it must just "pop up"?

Besides that it looks super small compared to the others like the DMC-G7. What do I give up by going to that smaller more compact body size? Looks like a coat pocket camera for sure.

It sounds like you might be confusing the GX850 with the GX85. Here's what they look like:

LEFT: GX85            RIGHT: GX850

As you can see the GX85 clearly has an EVF which does not pop-up.  The GX850, on the other hand, has no EVF at all.
