I found it a bit unbalanced also, and solved the problem with a Fotodiox thumb grip that fits into the hot shoe mount.

It is a fine camera, IMHO, and last month, I posted photographs with the above combination (along with the 20mm f/1.7):

Panasonic GX7

The menus are complicated and I always found myself having to remember how to change settings, also there are so many of them, something that I thought when I first got the camera would be great.

This sounds like you didn't take the time to really become acquainted with the camera.

Anyway, what have I changed to? Well, I've just bought a used (but mint) Canon g7xii. ... What do you all think, am I giving up on m43 too easily?

Perhaps, if you didn't really give the camera a chance. However, if you aren't happy, then it's time to make a change!
