Finally some love for the GX8?

Hi,

I have been using the GX8 for the last 2,5 years after having upgraded from my favorite GX7. Despite my "love at 1st site" GX7 impression, I didn't like the GX8 from the very beginning, but the more I was using it the more I was getting impressed by it.

Nowadays I feel its the best, most balanced RF camera no matter the sensor and I am happily surprised that a lot of people are finally appreciating this camera!! I will not go into details about its advantages but I would summarize them briefly below:

• one of best EVFs
• great ergonomics with deep grip for an RF body, Panasonic UI and plenty of customizable buttons
• the best m43 sensor so far (don't think its any different than the GX9, G9, EM1 mk2, PenF) and a very good sensor overall
• great build quality and sealing
• very good, reliable and fast S-AF

IMHO, if it even had a tilt screen instead of a FAS, it would be the ultimate RF body!

Not sure if there will be a real GX8 successor, but the imaginary GX10 could have almost the same body, change to a tilt screen or even better an XT3 screen, add all the latest improvements from GX9/G9 (deal with SS, remove AA filter, latest JPEG engine, better IBIS), add manual SS controls (like Fuji or LX100) and combine it with a WR edition of either the 15mm/1.7 or 25mm/1.4.

Your imaginary GX10 would be sweet Yannis.  I don't mind the flip out screen on the GX8 but I wouldn't mind something similar to the XT3 screen or the S1/S1R - best of both worlds for me.
