Yes G7 has blinkies and zebras.

I use back button focusing almost exclusively on my G7. Love it. Only slight negative is touch screen sometimes moves the focus point unintentionally.

Don't forget to use the Shortcut key which could return the running away focus point back to the center immediately. For GX7, it is the "Disp" key.

EVF is about the same as my EM5II.

I am a long time Panasonic user. Have G1 and G5. Only bought EM5II because it began to appear there would not be a G7. Plus the 40Meg mode sounded great. Have only used that once or twice.

The only thing that is better on the EM5II is the 10FPS. But I hate the user interface. Not at all intuitive.

According to P.182, High burst mode of G7 would be 10fps in E-shutter, 8fps on AF-S and 6fps on AF-C under M-shutter. Nit that slow?

G7 is a real bargain. So cheap right now, I am tempted to sell my EM5II and get a second G7.

Yes indeed. If have not just bought GX7, G7 would be my obvious choice to replace the old G1.
