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.
I've tried the A6000, it looks like a good grip in theory but it curves around too much and yet it's not deep enough... it's hard to explain. It attempts to simulate a DSLR grip but it feels like holding a bar, that's how I would describe it.
Indeed, GX7 is really quite a comfortable camera to hold. A shame there hasn't been an updated one with an identical body. Maybe the GX90?

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
