No I wouldn't buy it again
Well featured, good pictures and great video. Nice quality feel and good glass.
But the menu and controls are overly complicated. Generally less is more, but with this camera more is less. I use the G85 as a second camera for my work as a video and online journalist. I bought it because I use a Panasonic P2 video camera and thought the brand was good enough to make a decent stills camera. For the most part it is a useful device but it's fussy to use when you are in a hurry.
The pathway to export pictures to a phone should be simple and intuitive. Instead it is frustrating and slow. There are far too many options, sub menus and settings that are frankly unnecessary. Also there is no earphone outlet to monitor audio, a major fail for anyone recording in the field
I thought I would use it more often than I do, but sadly it's easier.,quicker and simpler to use a good quality phone camera and for most publishing purposes it's hard to tell the difference.
