Re: Bodies with GX7 ergonomics?

Sorry, besides GX85, we might have to wait for the GX95, if there will be one...

The smaller grip and plastic body (to reduce the overall weight), a fixed evf (IMHO because the plastic case is not strong enough to hold a flippable evf) etc are just actually a price to pay for the improved IBIS. Despite of all of the changes, GX85 indeed is slight heavier than GX7 because of a heat sink be sticked on the back of the floating sensor...

I suppose GX95 (if one) might increase in weight in case of a deeper grip, metal case and flippable evf be used... By that end I might have to rethink on the weight of M43 system since GX85 is mostly the ceiling that I can accept ...
