The GX85 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony ZV-E10 will offer you more detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older GX85 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
