Re: Difficult to underrate this camera -- umm, OVERRATE, I think

Ergonomically, the worst thing with the GX8 is the display button. Why didn't they make it recessed or at least flush with the body and why didn't they allow the function to change the screen layout to be disabled? Very bad design detail on an otherwise excellent camera. BTW is there a touch screen shutter function? If there is I've failed to find it.

ALL the Panasonics I have have the same problem with the DISP button. GH2, GX1, GX7, GX8.

I wish there were a setting to LOCK it. OR an ability to disable all but ONE display mode.

Either one would kill the DISP button follies.

THEN, going forward with new models, they should really just relocate it. I mean, seriously, how often does anyone change it? Me? I probably never would.
