Major firmware updates for G85 and GX85 released 10 days ago. No more IBIS noise! It also means the GH5 will not have IBIS noise issues either.

I'm surprised no one is talking about it because the update is a huge deal for the owners of the GX85/G85.  And I should clarify, you can still hear it if you put your ear to the camera, but it is a huge improvement.  I had to double check to see if the IBIS was still working.  I've also been wondering how many people were going to be disappointed once they realized the GH5's stabilization makes as much noise as it does (assuming it would be as loud as the G85).  I guess it won't be an issue on the GH5 which is fantastic news.

Thanks Michael, but I believe John Matthews already posted about that here.

My g80 made quite some IBIS noise compared to my gx80 but the latest firmware fixed that, now both are silent.

Ah, I missed that!  I hope the firmware doesn't have adverse effects.  Love it so far.
