Re: Will you upgrade from GX7 to a GX8?

I sold my GX7 in March, thinking an upgrade was imminent. However, the GX8 is not an upgrade, it is a new class of camera. It is heavier, less streamlined, and has a fully articulating LCD. Whether it has the improvements the GX7 needed to the shutter are unknown. It may have less shutter shock by virtue of its greater mass. There is no indication of a faster readout of the electronic shutter, which would reduce rolling shutter. It is not the upgrade I wanted. I have no GAS whatever.
