Curious if anyone could comment on how the image quality compares between a few generations of cameras. I have a GX7, which I still really like. I've been sort of eyeing getting a cheap G85, which I believe has the same sensor as my GX7 but doesn't have the AA filter, has a new shutter, etc. Then there's the 20mp sensors of the GX9, G95, etc.

My question is: if I were to grab a G85, would I notice an image quality bump?

I would say that depends on how you see your images. I would say you should see a tiny notch more "presence" in detail.

Or is it closer in quality to my GX7 and the bigger bump would be going to the latest 20mp ones? Framed another way, is the G85 closer in image quality to a GX7 or a GX9?

Wellt he bigger bump would be 20 MP with no AA.  GX9 has no AA *and* 20MP.
