/u/Bro_Dave - for a grand, I would start with a brand new US-spec G85 with the 12-60 kit lens, a free 64GB card and a couple of extra batteries for $997.99 and worry about extra lenses later.

That said, if you're going to spend $1500 straight out of the gate, I would probably step up to an $1197.99 GH4 with V-LOG and a $297.04 used 12-60mm lens from Amazon Warehouse Deals.

No IBIS, but the V-LOG upgrade, 96fps slow motion and the headphone jack can be very useful to have. Plus, you'll have 10-bit output, if you ever want to record externally.

Here's the GH4 shooting 1080/96p slow motion:

Here is the more general image quality the camera can produce with graded V-LOG:

The GH4 also has 10-bit output via HDMI, and can record 10-bit 4:2:2 video like this to an external recorder (the G85 is limited to 8-bit 4:2:0 internally and externally):

It's a pretty good still camera too.

In my view, the GH4 is a lot more camera for a little more money.

Hope this is helpful and good luck finding the right camera for your needs!
