Thanks everyone for all the responses. You've really given me a lot to think about. I haven't decided what camera I'll buy next but I feel like I'm better informed. Thanks!
Late comer here and an Olympus only user.
But I looked up your options proposed and if I didn't have Olympus I'd most likely chose Panasonic option.
That's based on my appreciation for custom buttons amongst other things from my EM5 1,2,3 and EM1 2.
I think I'm right but it looks like the G85 has two dedicated custom buttons or dial settings , the EM10 none?
Weather sealing? I'd go for best option.
Despite all said elsewhere and the intermix of brands (I've a Panasonic 100-400 on an Olympus EM1 2) I do appreciate when camera and lens are designed for each other.
Battery life has been mentioned. Cost of batteries probably similar.
16 vs 20 mp. If you spot the difference then it may also be influenced more by your photographic finesse than the sensor size. Yes, pushing the limits it makes a difference, but I've seen incredibly detailed 16mp photos so something working there.
Did I miss? Can you view same in a camera shop etc?
The flip out screen is very good IMO. I'd prefer fully articulating over non.
Allows the screen to be fully rotated against the camera or folded out and laid back against it or just folded out to view, plus low shots are a breeze. Don't underestimate that even if it doesn't appeal now.
I like the looks and what I read of the G85. But I'm not buying.
But I'd love to have a crack at one
