Olympus model with similar features as Panasonic G80/85?

Hi,

I have used Panasonic G7 and later G85 for years mainly for video but also for occasional camera walks.

As the tracking AF of G85 is not very reliable, I am looking towards similar Olympus body. But which one has comparable features?

Before G7 and my current G85, I had olympus E-PL and E-P bodies but the lack of video features turned me to Panasonic. Still I somehow like Olympus more.

What I need is good AF, 1080p video up to 60fps or more, 4K up to 30fps, preferrably 60fps.

Mic input and fully articulating screen is required.

Thanks!

The tripod socket is not very sturdy, so you need to be careful if you are going to constantly use it on a tripod (with heavy lenses). Otherwise this is probably the closest Olympus has (but I am not saying it necessarily is close).
