You are entitled to your opinion, but in my view it is absolute rubbish.

Starting with your strange comment about the name, the GX name is for the rangefinder style, and GX8 is entirely appropriate.

Then, I am not sure what percentage of owners are dissatisfied with the camera, but almost every post I read from someone who actually owns one is positive.

The shutter shock issue is there, but most actual users will tell you that it does not give them a problem.  Because of the perceived need on this forum to prove that 'their' make is better, it has been blown out of all proportion by owners of some cameras.

I, for one, would not swap my GX8 for a PEN F, and indeed had the opportunity when I bought it to go that way, but preferred the GX8 as a camera.

The GX8 is certainly larger than some other bodies, but probably is not of larger volume than the OM-D E-M1.  Are they also bricks?  Some people, you know, actually prefer the larger bodies.

I suspect that you have never used one yourself, but feel the need to chip in with nonsense.

Back to the OP, he may have problems with his perceived colour, but it is easily adjusted if the problem exists.

So he doesn't like the size or handling?  Many people do like the GX8.  He bought the wrong camera.  He can hardly blame the camera for that.  Maybe he is the lemon instead of the camera!
