Great, but not very reliable

Re: Great, but not very reliable

Nope. The GX7 produces 12-bit images with the electronic shutter. One of it's selling points. Thee-shutter scan speed is definitely slow, though.

I stand corrected (Never compared it to anything else though) as I had the 14-140-II mounted permanently, it was always in E-Shutter mode .....

The GX8 is superb but its an E-Shutter only camera

Huh? The mechanical shutter works well with all but the lighter built lenses, especially the 14-140mm f3.5-5.6, again.

I had it with the 12-60 F3.5-5.6 also - funny thing is that my totally sterling copy of the little 14-42-II withstands shutter shock from all except the dreaded GX1
