If you want stabilisation of the body to work with the lens you will have to match Panasonic with Panasonic, or Olympus with Olympus.Personally if money and size and weight was no object I would want to see how the 300 (plus tc) compares on GH5 vs EM1 mk2 - I think it may be close - people will see pro capture as a swaying factor, although 6K photo might be quite good on the GH5.I don't think there is a wrong answer, and there will always be something in the future that will be better, but I decided G85 plus 100-400 suited me, I don't think sensors seem developed enough yet to make 4MP a major enough difference to combat the downsides the extra pixel density can bring, and if I was after ultimate picture quality I would be going full frame anyway, I wanted maximum reach with quality in as compact a package as possible - my goal is for good record shots, and when I can get close enough in good light, the odd really good shot.Good luck choosing, don't rush the decision, and enjoy whatever you may decide upon.</blockquote>
