If you were looking for a small MFT body, you knew before buying it is not going to be the GX8.

I just bought one to try MFT, since I am migrating away from Fuji to MFT + FF.

I love the pro feel of the GX8 body and dials. Compared with a Fuji x100 (that I love BTW) the GX8 feels like a real camera, think of a film Leica M or Nikon.

WB I adjust in any camera, anyway, and focus and general responsiveness of the GX8 seem excellent.

I regret that you feel bad and seem prone to bad luck in general. I understand your frustration, but having said that the title of your post suggest that the GX8 is the worst camera in the world, which in reality it isn't. It is actually a unique and good camera in my view and the Panasonic track record for consistent quality is among the better manufacturers AFAIK. I have about 30 film cameras and 10 digitals and the GX8 is among my favorites.

I hope you find a better copy of the GX8 and that the evil spirits of camera-land will leave you.
