I would add that the form of the GX 8 was and still is desirable to many users. To me it represents a vote for the rangefinder style of the product.

There being no logical need for the SLR style which is neo classical if it were architecture. It is not so old.

Reviving an old thread with a tarnished title is not a gross problem. Not if it is relevant, adds value, and encourages use of the camera you have over the one in your crystal ball.

Whoops, that surely defeats the wisdom of the new has got to be better. Look no further, if you are budget constrained than the overlooked older yet great products. It feels good.

Love means never having to say you're sorry. Doing a search, call it excavation and embelisshment of the archives. Not so bad, Not gauche. Beats the calls for advice over which strap to buy. Oops, sorry strappers.

I agree. Never quite sure why the forum etiquette police complain about reviving old threads - many of them contain a lot of useful information that is otherwise effectively lost. There are always people too anxious to block things. And no, the search facility is not always effective. You have to enter the right search term. Anyway, the appeal of these forums is partly that you stumble across useful knowledge that you were not actively looking for.
