At $899, the G80 is probably around half the price of what the E-M1 II and the GH5 will be when they arrive. Still, it's a great alternative for cost, weight and space conscious photovideographers like myself, offering more or less 90% of what its bigger siblings boast, maybe 99% for someone like this shooter:
- 5 axis IBIS
- 4K video (only 100 Mbps though)
- Solid metal construction
- Vertical grip
- Weather sealing
- 3.5mm microphone jack
- 0.74x viewfinder
- Fully articulated LCD
- (Great) Panasonic ergonomics
- 9fps
- 45 frames RAW buffer
Minuses:
- Smaller battery than the GH5
- Only 1/4000s (1/16000s electronic)
- Just one SD card slot
If I'm going to buy another camera within the next 12 months, this will probably be it. The big ones are out of my reach at the moment, and I'm not sure that I need them. I do have the original E-M1 after all.
