If you prefer the ergonomics of the GH series, then that is what to buy. The GX7 is a rangefinder-type camera body. It works for some of us, perhaps not for others.

LMNCT,

Yep...I hear you...but then the thing about a GH series, as nice as they are, is that's a great big body just to contain the smaller MFT-sized sensor.

It's like, if I am going to grab a body that big, then I might as well be grabbing an APS-C camera, or even a full frame...heck, the FF A7 is smaller than the GH4, (not counting lenses of course).

Now I know what I am saying might sound counter-intuitive, not wanting the GH4 because of it's body size, but at the same time wanting that bigger grip.

But that's where an accessory, removable grip is so perfect...put the grip on to have a virtual GH4 experience, and then take it off to have a much more compact, MFT experience.

Anyway, to each his own.
