I have this combo. I bought it for travel. I have found the GX8 and 12-100 to be an excellent combination and far lighter and more versatile than my Nikon equivalents. Focus is fast and accurate. The lens is awesome. The camera body has a few flaws in that I inadvertently press a button that changes AWB or bracketing, etc. And there seems to be no way to lock out those buttons. The camera is configurable in an incredible number of ways, but those buttons are placed in such places that i am always accidentally pushing them and changing settings. I have played with wildlife photography, but this camera is not quite there in that it will not lock onto a moving subject like my Nikon D500. Horses for courses.
You CAN lock out the D-Pad buttons on the GX8. See Pg 70 of manual.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
