GX8 slightly taller and wider than GX7 to accommodate larger EVF.

They could add the larger evf of the GX8, just remove the flash and center the hotshoe. A clip on flash should suffice. I never missed the flash on my XE2, XE3, or XPRO2.

Panasonic is better off giving the GX8 body a FF sensor. Keep the GX7 MkIV small.

The GX8 already doesn't have a flash and many, many people complained it was way too huge for M43. Panasonic can switch the EVF screen type, but to keep the size compact, it'll unlikely to ever be as big as the GX8's.

The only people who complained about the size of the GX8 were the people who never used one.

Sure, looking at pictures, the difference appears to be massive. But, I have both and the size difference IN YOUR HAND is minimal.

The GX8 is more comfortable. It has better ergonomics and better external controls. That's what counts.
