Wow! Those should close the deal.

I used my G7 last night at a kids' baseball game, mostly under the lights. I was pleasantly surprised at the shots I got, using 4K photo, at ISO6400. G7 is the best camera I've owned. It continues to surprise and please me.

4K at 6400? Not too many cameras out there that can do that!

I've been trying to decide between the Fuji X-T10 and this G7. But like I said earlier, it's getting harder and harder to decide.

If you do video the Fuji isn't in the conversation. I could see the X-T10 and G7 coexisting. But you already have the D600. I would say the G7 is more well rounded as a compliment to the D600.

I've never been into video, but I tried out the 4k burst mode today and pulled a frame out. Now that's a pretty cool feature.

I'd like to thank everyone for their input. Is this the standard in this forum? Some of the forums can get rather nasty on dpr.If there's an argument here, it's usually over the dream specification for the next MFT or someone's disappointment over the latest MFT camera not being 20 Giga Pixels or having a built-in waffle maker.

Glad that you're enjoying your G7. The 14-140mm MK2 is something of an optical miracle in that it's sharp across the whole zoom range.

The Bad News is that you might want a faster lens for indoor or low-light use.

The Good News is that there's a huge range of excellent Panasonic and Olympus primes available as well an increasing range of 3rd party lenses.

Thanks for weighing in. IF I decide to give this camera a permanent home, I'll probably get the 25mm f1.4 as well.
