Hi guys,

Looking to maybe "move up" from my compact "combo" of LX7 & TZ70 and to take my photography a bit more seriously so,,, the questions are,,

Any of you guys use a GX7, if so how do you rate it.

I rate mine quite highly.  It's the M43 camera that finally convinced me to sell off all of my Nikon gear and go all in with M43.  I've been eagerly awaiting a success but both possibilities (GX8, GX85) were not, IMO, worthy successors.  Each of those cameras lacked one or more of the features that, to me, were key to the GX7's appeal.

After buying the GX7, I have also added an EM5 II and a G85.  Despite those cameras having quieter mechanical shutters and far better in-body stabilization, my GX7 continues to be frequently used thanks to its small size, tilting EVF, and ergonomics.

Image quality of the GX7 is very close to the others (I shoot in raw mode) so I don't feel like I'm loosing anything when I shoot with it.  Video quality is very good, too.

On my England trip next week I'll be bringing my G85 and GX7.
