I own the G7/14-140 combo, and do not consider it a "beast", even by comparison with other m4/3 cameras.

From B&H, the G7 is 4.9x3.4x3", 14.64 oz. with battery and card.  The GX8 is 5.2x3.1x2.5", 17.12 oz.  The GX85 is 4.8x2.8x1.7, 15.03 oz.

So the G7 is the lightest of the bunch, and by the time you put on a lens isn't really significantly larger in any dimension, other than maybe height as compared to the GX85.  And IMO the G7 viewfinder is in a better position than the rangefinder style bodies.
