Like seriously, enough is enough! Give it a new EVF even if you have to make the body slightly bigger (though I'm sure you don't have too). Keep it tiltable and make it non-16:9.

Adding a bigger, GX8 class EVF to a GX7 makes it a GX8. There's no way around it.

Sorry for the crappy image, but this is how it looks. The GX8 is NOT that much bigger than a GX7. 10mm (.5") wider. 7mm (.375") taller. That's it.

A bigger EVF makes a GX7 a GX8.

If the monitors align, the GX7 actually has a slightly wider grip on the right side.

I never said to put in a larger EVF, just a new one. Sure, one that is as good as the one in the GX8 would be great, yet it doesn't have to be as large. Just replace the field sequential EVF unless they have a massively upgraded field sequential EVF (albeit I'll still be doubtful it would be good enough).
