Hi,
I have just ordered the GX80, £279 after £200 cashback, just caught the last day of the offer. Incredible price.
I have been using the Panasonic G7 and am pleased with that camera but it doesn't have IBIS.
Since I sometimes use a 400mm f4.5(800mm equivalent) old Canon FD, non-stabilised, manual lens for 4K video recording, the GX80 will effectively provide stabilisation for this legacy lens and other FD lenses in my collection.
A demo on youtube of GX80 stabilisation with non-stabilised, legacy lenses is very impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIIV71UicJA&t=98s
Improved DFD focus with my Pana 100-300mm M43 lens should also be an improvement. The GH5 is way outwith my budget.
