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?

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.

It's a shame we're forced to make a choice between the tilty and full-articulation. Both have definite strengths and weaknesses and work better in some situations than others.

Don't worry Jeff, I'm sure that we won't be forced to make the decision anymore because there won't be any new models with tilty screens.
