I bought a Panasonic GX9 which has 24 MP and a similar sensor to a G9 with a price and smaller body similar to the GX85. I am uncertain why you would choose a GX85 (16 MP) over a GX9 (24 MP). The cost difference is marginal. The pictures captured so far in RAW are great, the battery life better than expected and the handling with my very large hands, comfortable. Is there something that I don’t know about the two cameras? I generally shoot with the screen, but the viewfinder works great too.
I don’t think the difference between $500 and $800 is marginal, especially since the $500 for the GX85 includes two lenses.

Your right. The price has dropped another hundred from my last perusals of B&H. $150-200 is my personal cut off for newer vs older technologies. Having said that, glass is more important than MP count in my experience. This is my second Panasonic 4/3 and I decided to upgrade several years ago to higher quality glass because of the softness of the kit lenses. I know little of Sony lenses, but Olympus lenses have been of the highest quality for years. I wouldn’t throw the Olympus equivalent out of the mix. I will use the 12-60 that comes with the Gx9. I’m not sure that I would use the lenses provided as a kit with the Gx85. I would have to experiment with there sharpness.

I would say the Sony delivers the best image quality if you test it in a controlled environment. There are other factors that make a camera better than others besides image quality. For me among the factors how the camera look is an important one.

Which is great, if you shoot in a controlled environment.
