Gave The GX7 MkII Another Go...

Wherefore he GX8 future?

My bet is that the GX8 might be the role model for the inevitable Panasonic SX1 - more likely than it ever being re-introduced to M4/3 format.  The GX9 works well for me also and I might have had a GX8 (or Pen-F) if it wasn’t for the side hinged lcd.

I was cautious about the double-hinged tilt of the S1/S1R but have warmed to it.  The real beauty is that it is “just” a regular tilt not making a nuisance of itself right up to when you decide to use portrait tilt and release that extra catch.

None of this constant fiddling and twisting and popping out the side business.

I have only come to terms with my G9 by treating the lcd as a fixed screen just like those now ancient dslr bodies that I once used.

M4/3 remains my go-to mount system and my greatest pleasure.

I am only “in” L-Mount to give my EF lenses a fourth life

1) EF- Canon dslr - worked

2) EF- Sony A7R - not particularly impressed

3) EF- M4/3 - works well

4) EF- L - nearly as good

When Canon was refusing to make a FF ML body it looked for a while that my EF lenses were a horrible mistake - now they seem to have been more of a lifetime investment
