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.

Even with the GX8, I felt that that full swivel screen was the kiss of death for a lot of GX owners. ....

Tsk tsk.... The jury is still out on this one. I for one really appreciate the fully articulated screen because a) I can close the damn thing and protect the screen and b) it's just covers more situations when I do need it.

Yes , fully articulated screen is a plus, ESPECIALLY for photogswho shoot a lot of vertical. I was lik many others I am sure , reluctant to consider GX8 because of all the shutter shock comments. If panasonic was to make a GX8 mark II of this camera without this shutter shock issue and the two sd uhs II card slots of the G9 , i would most likely buy one

Well... again (sigh) the GX8 SS issue has seen a lot of discussions but it should not deter you from going for the GX8 because a) most owners don't see it since it seems to happen on only a handful of lenses at certain speeds and can mostly be avoided by using the e-shutter anyway; b) you may have to wait for a heck of a long time for a true GX8 MkII...
