From reading this forum and others, there are almost no reported flaws with the G7, almost no missing capabilities (really just IBIS), it's still relatively up-to-date with the latest bells and whistles (with 4k video and related features, and probably the same sensor as the new GX-7ii-80-85-whatever), etc.

In summary: The G7 seems like a very safe bet. In three years, any new camera you buy today will be worth a tiny fraction of what you spent, so a good deal on the G7 seems like a smart economic choice as well (since its price is not as inflated as the Oly Pen & Pany GX8).

Cameras with similar feedback and bang-for-the-buck include the Oly EM10ii. If you didn't want an EVF, I'd suggest considering the GF7 dual lens kit as well (I picked one up a year ago new for US$500 with the two tiny zoom lenses.)
