To sum up, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G85 with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Panasonic G85 will render extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent G85 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
