Lots of great feedback here. I think my key takeaways have been:

  1. After all these years, the GX7 still isn't completely terrible compared to the newer cams.
  2. I could probably get more out of it just by upping my PP skills (have always shot this camera in raw).

Process RAW with DxO PhotoLab Elite, apply PRIME noise reduction and Lens Sharpness, output as TIF, then use Pixel Genius' now-free PhotoKit Sharpener to apply output sharpening tailored to print size and media. PKS makes a huge difference in apparent crispness, even in small prints. Default sharpening in Lightroom doesn't even come close.

  1. I should be considering getting a GX8...
  2. And maybe a sharper lens.

Thanks, everyone.
