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.

I own a GX85 and love it for its smaller size. The viewfinder is fixed. It does't "pop up". You just put it up to your eye and it comes on.

Its an ICL camera. It's only "pocketable" with a small lens on it.

Lots of information and reviews out there about the GX85 so I won't try and re-invent the wheel here.
