I currently have a Panasonic G7 which has been a fantastic camera but I am thinking of upgrading to a G85, mainly for the unlimited video recording capability. I have two questions about the G85 - would appreciate any comments on these:

1) How good is the weather sealing on the G85? Is it OK in a light/med rain?

2) How good is the video autofocus? Not expecting miracles but curious what G85 users would say about effectiveness of autofocus during video.

Thanks!

Ours has been absolutely fine in heavy rain.

Video AF - Give it contrast, and it will detect it. Don't run around too much, it's a fast processor, but not current generation. One of the best low light focusing cameras on the market, up there with top-of-the-line DSLR's at -5ev or something.
