Wow, I'm amazed by the 100% positive response you guys have given to my question! I myself have owned quite a lot of Matushita/Panasonic products over my life, all of them being at the top of their game in reliability and durability, and the name has been the top mention in these regards for consumer electronics for as long as I remember. I've only asked because Panasonic is not the top mention in photo gear, mostly because of historical and sales volumes reasons . But seeing that I've gotten a deluge of only positive experiences, I'll definitively go ahead and get me a G7, in black of course. I've got an eye at it because of its excellent SOOC video performance, something that has been very lacking in the Nikon, Canon, Fuji and Sony gear I've owned (somehow my sole Pentax camera, an MX-1 compact, which was basically a re-bodied Olympus XZ-2, had the best SOOC video IQ from all the digital cameras I've owned) and because I'm fed up with DSLR focusing issues and needless bulk.

I have shot a lot of Nikon DSLRs, Sonys, and Oly... all good.  But Lumix is my fav!  Ergo, UI, quality, etc.  Also in USA the warranty is extended to 3 yrs upon registration/proof of purchase.  Enjoy!
