Love mine, used it in everything, no problems. Given the recent, and very extensive, update to the G9 which prominently figured video improvements, you might want to consider that as an alternative to the G85. You would still have a 29.9 minute limit on video, but the other upgrades might make it worth it, especially given the current price of the camera. I have and frequently use both, though the G9 is now my fav.

Absolutely agreed.

It could be a very viable option to OP if money is not a matter. I suppose G9 might take a very very long time, or might never happen, to have price dropped  below US$500 😀.

To me, G85 is already a insane, GAS move because they are not the size and weight of the M43 system I am looking for. 12~35 f/2.8 been replaced by 12~32 for size and weight saving. Not to mention G9.

Had tried G9 many times in showroom when it was launched, I had no issue on the price but its size and weight (similar happened on GX8) worried me most. Same as GM5 that is too small to me too. They are excellent for what are designed for, just not my cup of tea.
