I own two of these from 2014 or 2015, both second hand. Both are dead now. And I'm bidding again on one - as it's dirty cheap now.

Hello "Zoom,"

I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences with your GX7s. However, since they were second-hand, you can not know how they were treated by the previous owners.

I've had one for five years and regard it as a superb camera. I added a Fotodiox thumb rest to make it easier to carry the camera in hand, since I didn't want to use a strap.

I use a small shoulder bag which doesn't call attention to itself as having a camera inside.

I agree about the 20mm lens. That and the 12-32mm make a nice pair.

For a while I used my 100-400mm lens with this camera. The camera size is not a problem if I balance the lens in my left palm. The camera is used just to steady the lens and click.

I've never understood the complaints about the EVF. I didn't have a problem focusing and using 10x magnification above.

I hope your next experience with a GX7 will be more reliable!
