I have to say that the GX line of Panasonic and E-PL of Olympus are the true nature of MFT system. Small, lightweight systems to fit in your jacket pocket replacing smartphone cameras with ability to change lenses. Other lines can get bigger that easily APS-C cameras can match the camera size. So unless you do not seek reach there are not so many things nowadays to attract you on a bigger camera than a GX.

Cannot agree more, and also had a GX80 (unfortunately stolen) for the same reasons. With a 12-32 + 45-150 + 20mm prime, I never hesitated to bring it with me, while friends or colleagues in the same short trips had their smartphones instead of their DSLR...

However, I also had some frustrations with the GX80:  the not so great EVF, poor battery life, and the limited grip.

I would not like the new GX10 to be a larger GX8 style body, BUT I think that either a deeper grip or an optional grip accomodating larger batteries would be great for extended shooting sessions.
