Elegant!
3

I recall when I purchased this camera, thinking how elegant it looked. Worthy of an updated portrait!

Later when the Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm came along, I was so impressed with the camera's DUAL IS, how the old reciprocal of the focal length rule went out the window, and the idea that I could hand hold @800mm with a shutter speed below 1/100 sec. would have been unthinkable earlier.

The tilt EVF of course is wonderful. I recall an afternoon at a local park/lake kneeling for about 15 minutes, watching and photographing a juvenile great blue heron.

I make use of the fully articulated screen when in vertical orientation low to the ground with flowers.

I wouldn't consider purchasing an upgrade unless some remarkable improvement in the sensor occurred.
