It might be real and I will no doubt get to see it one day

I cannot be annoyed by something I have not noticed.  But I am sure that it is real enough to bother somebody.  But perhaps it was more sourced from a review test.  I am sure that the review was correctly made.  However a reviewer's job includes pointing out possible problems found. So even the greatest machine must have some drawbacks lest they be thought sycophantic.

However it is the job of the Pompous Order of Hereditary Naysayers to fulminate continuously on every little exception brought up by a review.

More considered opinions decide on whether they can live with it or not.

If that is all that is wrong with the GX7 then there is nothing much wrong with it at all.

Similarly the GM1 "wheel" issue seems to be an item that some can easily live with and others who no longer have one (or never did) can keep on mentioning forever as the one thing that must necessarily needs this brilliant little camera an immediate consignment to the electronic dustbin.

The only solution is either for reviewers not to mention little problems and to be thought over-excited by a new product or for potential owners to make up their own minds despite the review.  Of course I sometimes disagree with a reviewers personal opinion. Such as the GM1 was an amazing achievement but by the GM5 it had become a light duties pocketable camera.  Again, I made up my own mind.
