Features:
We had a G85 and loved the video quality for the price, but the video autofocus was not great. I didn't realize how not-great it was until we were at a small orgy with some friends and a guy had a Sony a6500. The a6500 tracking AF was (is) far superior. Eventually I saw a floor model or refurbished a6500 and picked it up for about $100 more than I sold the g85 for on Craigslist. One or two of the NSFW videos in our posting history has likely been shot with the G85.
The G85 had a much better touch screen implementation, but the a6500 has considerably better 4K image quality and much better tracking AF. For stills photographers, the difference is likely low, but for video, the Panasonic contract-detect AF is often wobbly and out of focus. In different ways, both the G85 and a6500 are "almost there" cameras.
Edit, forgot to mention that the G85 also has a better rotating screen.
Overall, the G95 looks like a camera that is going to suffer against the a6500, let alone whatever the a6500 successor might be. Already, used a6500s are about $800 - $900. The G95 looks like a little too little, particularly given its weak AF during video performance.
