I'm trying to sell a GX7, I have the silver model and it is showing much sign of wear. That silver paint scratched very easily and has put me off ever buying another silver camera. Second hand the going rate seems to be about £220. Given the condition of mine I thought I would be lucky to get £100 for it. I took it into our local CEX (UK chain buying and selling electronics, DVDs and games) and they offered me £110 subject to passing inspection. More than happy to take that so went back half an hour later for them to tell me they couldn't take it because the serial number had worn away. Now that is rubbish and I'm not sure who I am more annoyed at, Panny for not placing a more permanent serial no or the system that relies on having a serial number that is far from permanent.
That sounds like a good thing. Having a worn relic look give the camera some character. If it still functions no need for upgrade.

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!
