Re: Will you upgrade from GX7 to a GX8?

I won't. Just bought a GX7 and found out that it painfully lags with a mounted 45/1.8 Oly during object tracking and dial operation. Seems that there's no full compatibility even on a non DFD system.

So with a GX8 and it's superiour DFD focusing and Dual IS I'd be limited to firmware updated Panny lenses. That's the First con.

Second is price. It should start 100€ below Em5m2. Even with its terrible menu system the latter is a more versatile camera in my opinion.
