The GX1/GX7 was when Panasonic got it right. To this day, I want to point blame to whoever changed the name outside of Japan for the following cameras.

The GX8 should've had a whole different name, like the X-Pro/X-E Fujifilm lines.

Even with the GX8, I felt that that full swivel screen was the kiss of death for a lot of GX owners. I think the GX7 MkII is where Panasonic should stay, unless they'll rethink their strategy and make a GXX Rangefinder camera with the L-Mount and all the bells and whistles with a Tilt screen "hint-hint" Panasonic...

The S1 and S1R has a 3-axis tilt screen that I think can work well as a midpoint. Still doesn't support Selfie screen, but does support portrait tilt.

I think the most ideal is a hybrid tilt/FAS like the A99 screen.

...that take videos seriously, I think the grand majority would hate a screen that doesn't fully swivel.
