I am an amateur photographer, and enjoy taking primarily landscapes. The majority of my photos are during my travels ( I do a lot). I enjoyed having my Lumix GX7 coupled with a very small selection, albeit very OK for my needs, of lenses i.e. Lumix G Vario 12-35 2.8 Mark I (70% of photos), Lumix G20 (about 25% of photos) and Lumix G Vario 45-175 (occasional use, maybe less than 5%).

I am looking for suggestions for changing the camera body, since my GX7 is showing its age and has presented some issues (I have the camera since it came out). I like its form and probably I would not go to something much bigger unless it presents substantial upgrade. My budget is around the 700 but not more than 1000 Euros.

I would be grateful for your suggestions.

I also had the GX7 and absolutely loved it! I know have the GX8 and although in the beginning I found it big, after some time, I like it even more than the GX7 due to the fantastic tilt EVF, the bigger grip and the weather resistance.

If I were to get now a m43 body, I would either look on the GX9 or the GX8. In September we may also see the new EM5 mk3, which is my last hope for replacing my GX8 (unlikely, but you never know...)
