Swiss Army Knife
1

Bought this camera. Very good overall image quality with the higher quality M 4/3 lenses. This camera is so adaptable and loaded with almost too many features. Easy to travel with, handle and use.

Wish the image quality was a little closer to some of the lower prices APS-C competition.

Re: Swiss Army Knife

I recently got the newer version of this Swiss army knife - the GX85, which is also called the GX7 Mk II in Japan...

Over the weekend I tested the output of a higher quality lens (35-100mm f/2.8) with a lower quality one (100-300mm):

Yes, if you viewed the photos 100% on a computer monitor, you can see the difference. But I think there's little in it when viewed full screen.

Re: Swiss Army Knife

its a good old camera!  I replaced the viewfinder flange with bigger one which really helps.

Re: Swiss Army Knife

Wishful thinking! To find a camera that works as well and as long as any Swiss knife.
