Focus peaking is poorly implemented on the GX8. It's okay when it works, but it isn't always easy to see the peaking color. You can change color and the strength of the effect, but those don't entirely fix the issue.

I think you'd be disappointed by the handling of the GX8 compared to your Olympus. At least for some users like me, the right hand back controls are very easy to accidentally activate.

The battery capacity on the GX8 isn't stellar, nor do I care for having the battery and the SD card behind the same door on such a large MFT body.
