I have tried the tilting evf - didn't like it and have not needed it. I just tilt the lcd when I need tilt.

Blasphemy. That tilting EVF is the GX series crowning glory. Over 2 years in with my G9, I still miss that flippy EVF. I'll happily admit to being indifferent when I first bought one, within a few hours I was utterly smitten. I love shooting lowish angle automotive shots, those events are usually held in mid day sun, making the tilt screen near useless. Especially when shooting ultrawide, & trying to see what you have/haven't included in the edges. Tilty EVF's absolutely rock.

Burn me on the stake. I haven't used so far the EVF on the GX80.

A tilting EVF can be handy for some. Personally I find that if you can attach your camera on your face, why you can't kneel if you have to? So it seems gimmick for me. I didn't consider also the possible issue that it can get caught when you have your camera in a small bag or your pocket.

A tilting screen though is really helpful when need to place your camera near on the ground or above your head. It was a salvation after using it on my D750. The tilting EVF cannot do that unless you like to crawl.
