The new GX8 has great features but also larger body. Wondering if you would upgrade from a GX7 to the GX8 (I'm not).

Absolutely, but I'll also keep my GX7 to use as a second body. The only thing holding me down is the current price, so just have to be patient now. Hopefully we'll see the price drop at least a bit by Christmas time, maybe some extra holiday special deal discount Although I'm not holding my breath on that one. I was in the exact same boat when the GX7 first came out. I waited for Christmas hoping for a special deal and/or a price drop, but nothing worthwhile was offered during holidays. I ended up waiting another 4 months and ended up buying a second hand GX7 in perfect condition for half the price. Couldn't be happier with that purchase. Maybe I should do the same with the GX8
