My experiences with micro four thirds

The GX8 is nice and quite responsive. But it's choice of flip screen will not work well with street photography. The gx7 type flip screen is much better for this purpose. Very peculiar decision to have selfie flip screen for a camera of this caliber . Am I missing anything here?

Teera, by referring to it as a "selfie" flip screen, you are dismissing it as something that has little value to more serious photographers (not that serious photographers don't shoot selfies every now and then).

I've run into situations with my GX7 where I've had to shoot in portrait orientation from a low angle with my tripod's legs splayed out.  In those situations, have a dual axis screen would have been very, very handy.  As it was, I had to engage in some very uncomfortable contortions to get a bit of a look through the EVF.

3 weeks ago I was shooting 360 panorama's inside my mother's old house in China.  I wanted to make a series of photos that I could convert into a semi-VR experience using Google Cardboard.  So I used a Samyang 7.5mm fisheye on my EM5 II.  I was shooting in portrait orientation with the camera at about the height of my sternum.  Having the dual axis screen made it very comfortable to confirm the framing of each shot without having to awkwardly crouch down.

I understand why some people prefer a single axis screen.  I quite like the one on my GX7 and prefer it for some situations.  But there are also good reasons for having a dual axis screen as well.
