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.

It's a good time for cameras in the Lumix era.  For your price range the upgrade for the G7 in 2017 was the G85.  Since travel is your main style, the GX9 would be the best option.  The larger resolution will be great for the landscapes, and the new JPG processing that turns out great shots with great color tones.
