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?

I have a G85 and I wouldn't trust the weather-sealing too much. There's none around the battery bay, for instance.

Can you please recheck. There is weather-sealing on our G80 UK version battery door, and it locks tight.
