Panasonic claims this sensor is above Fuji's X-Trans in performance, both for DR and SNR. This camera seems like a winner to me. Well, except the silver model looks pretty silly...

I must have missed that statement. The GX8 looks indeed attractive on paper and I'm looking forward to see its full reviews showing what this new sensor is capable of.

Yes, I had my eyebrow raised at first but the GX8 is slowly growing on me. I've come to value haptics a good deal and previewers claim the improvement in build quality has been massive, and that this feels like a premium camera to the point the GX7 seems like a toy next to it. It may just be worth the increase in size...
