GX7.ii =GX85 by another name, also gx80. The GX9 is GX7.iii in Japan. It's the worst property of Lumix m43 cameras

I tried the gx85 twice, thinking i should just get past my issues and love it. I couldn't, the gx7 is right for me. I like the af/mf switch with fn button for af-on, that works even when switch is set to mf. Gx9 went to 3 settings on af/mf switch, just another way for me to miss shots.

On the contrary, I prefer the way (fn key control) of GX85 instead of Gx7, or the G85.

Under C of Panny, any features controlled by a hard default button, e.g. AFS/Burst or AF/MF, it could not be saved in a C.

I used to have a C mode for AF tracking, S, 1/1000",  AFC, Burst =M, Custom AF zone. Under G85 as Burst are controlled by the Drive mode dial, and AFS/AFC by the lever, it makes that C mode setting useless. If I need to save AF/MF to a C, I should face same problem.

IMHO it should be personal preference and different kind of usage.
