Has there been any new rangefinder style cameras released with the GX7 shape? It's the only M43 camera I've used where my pinky doesn't hang off the bottom of the grip, and its a lot more comfortable than other bodies I've used (E-PL5, EP5, EM10 ii).

The GX8 is too large, and the GX85 seems to have downsized the grip (and its available for the same price as the GX8 locally... no clue why).

On the Olympus side there hasn't been a rangefinder style body with a built in EVF other than the Pen F, and that doesn't have a grip at all.

I'm using an X-E2 now and its really comfortable, I figured M43 might work for me again but realized that I'm restricted by the lack of a body with similiar handling

Sony a6300?  I looked at it but found the lens selection to be lacking or just too expensive.  I got a GX8, but the body design that is probably my favorite is the GX7.
