I did, and I find it a bit strange. It's a larger but cheaper camera lacking in ergonomics but better equipped from an imaging point of view. Could we have a GX8500 please, with the GM5 body and the GX850 innards?Jorgen- did you see the GX800/GX850/GF9 announcement? I think Panasonic has with it killed the GM line, on the other hand, looks like they did put several things in the new camera I wanted (no AA filter, in-raw converter apparently, depth from defocus).

Maybe the model number would be the GMX8505.....you never know with Panasonic.I did, and I find it a bit strange. It's a larger but cheaper camera lacking in ergonomics but better equipped from an imaging point of view. Could we have a GX8500 please, with the GM5 body and the GX850 innards?
As long as the naming of their cameras is the only thing they can't figure out, I'm satisfied. Have you noticed that they have painted "Lumix" on the front of their cameras since they entered the stills camera business? Have you ever met a single person who has referred to his Panasonic camera as a Lumix?Maybe the model number would be the GMX8505.....you never know with Panasonic.
It's almost the same size though. I also think the GM line is at least for now, dead.I did, and I find it a bit strange. It's a larger but cheaper camera lacking in ergonomics but better equipped from an imaging point of view. Could we have a GX8500 please, with the GM5 body and the GX850 innards?
You mean the Lumix G? That's the other thing -- it doesn't say G-85 (or G7, etc.) on the front, just G. And then there is the "L" type symbol on the front at the bottom.As long as the naming of their cameras is the only thing they can't figure out, I'm satisfied.

So far I have verified the following-It apparently uses the same battery as the GM5, the BLH7 of which I have three already, so for an ultralight travel setup, it would represent a nice duo; one with viewfinder and one with flip screen, one with 4K and one without. Looks cool too, at lest in black. As if I need more cameras :ROTFL:
Maybe this thread could be renamed "Fun with Panasonic GM/GF". There's a strong resemblance between the Pana micro bodies.No worries, I understand. If you want to move it to "Fun with GX850" I am cool with that.
Only posted those impressions here to be in reference to the GM5 since Panasonic has made the new camera its successor pretty much (even if it's not quite quite the idea successor).
I will open another thread eventually, but please, move it if you think it's for the best.
