the color calibration is off, tinting to yellow....I thought I bought a camera when in fact I really bought an expensive lemon.

Just think.... if the tinting was green, you would have bought an expensive lime!

In a way, though, your gripe isn't with the camera, but with the online purchasing model.

I see you complained about replies that are a bit critical of you, but, think a bit about what you have done here:

  • no camera's body and buttons suit everyone, so who is responsible for making sure the body you buy suits the hand you have?
  • GX8 images aren't generically yellow, a quick browse would have shown you that before you purchased, so your camera needs adjustment. But why is that a criticism of the camera model or the company? Every camera company has QC less than 100.00%, otherwise warranties would be pointless (that's what they are there for), so just get on and get your camera sorted. Why is your story interesting to the world?
  • given that your camera purchasing method has let you down, why are you deflecting the responsibility? It's not Panasonic's fault, not the GX8's fault.
