Panasonic GX10

What’s my chances of seeing one, so far not good?

I have a gx7 (20mm, 15mm and recently acquired 42.5.mm) I skipped the newer camera models, thief didn’t bring much to the party except for a couple of nibbles.

The reason I came to the form is to figure out what to get as my gx7 is pretty much as had it too many doss houses while travelling for a decade. As you can gather I am not used to buying camera gear even though this camera helped me acquire a substantial sum of money whilst floating around the planet.

OM/ Olympus are out of the question I shoot manual focus b&w and with focus peeking the Pen reverts to colour on the screen ugh!

not many choices I guess a used GX7 or Gx9 or maybe it’s off the Leica or Fuji land I have not really looked at what is around due to lack of interest. Any ideas?

ps I also extensively shoot a film Contax T2 now a T3 as the T2 died of natural causes

I kind expect to see one in the next year, no reason, just feel XD

I think many stayed like you with the gx7, personally I loved the gx80, so I'd probably buy one of those or a gx9, I'd go used.

the x-pro series from fuji, sounds like a good match for you, physically quite large though vs a gx camera.

like the x-pro, leica also sound like a good match for you, if that an option, why not? the leica's like the x-pro are kinda heavy vs the gx series, you do get a heavier build with the fuji or leica.

the only other one to look at might be the gx8, bigger and heavier than the gx7/gx80/gx9 but that gets you a mag alloy build with WR.

Just bought GX85 for a very good price.

Wonder how long could it serve before it’s getting outdated

This used to p....me off seriously as well but in the meantime I somehow got used to it ... can't have it all and the rest just fits.

About Zero, unfortunately.

Panasonic is out of the LX100/GM1/GM5/GF6/GX9/GX7 type camera.

And you know this how?

I'm gonna wait another year, if nothing, I'll buy a few gx9's or gx80's and call it a day.

With them developing 2 systems both with plenty of releases, I'm not gonna trust anybodies tea leaves

Its already 'outdated' tbh.

BUT my goodness how could such a fantastic camera ever really be outdated, IMO never.

I had to give mine away, I'd pretty much not touched my G9 since buying a GX80 XD

Its a really good start to a kit thats very much 'in the spirit' of mft IMO.

The GX80 is my favorite camera.

They stated it in this interview:

https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2020/08/20/panasonic-interview-covid-development-full-frame-micro-four-thirds

I quote the interesting part: "Yes, as I said, this category (compact cameras) is affected by the smartphone's expansion. But still, there are people who continue to use this model. But we have to admit that this category will be going down. And so as a camera business, we have to decide the priority of the development resources, which category is the most important. We have to study for the future."

Why not a used GX8?

there is also the smaller Fuji XE4 which may be of interest to you.

I think there will be another GX model coming, but as with all camera manufacturers the release cycle has slowed down a bit from what it used to be so it might be a while off yet. But that's not a bad thing in my view.

I think the GX9 would be a decent upgrade over your GX7. The form factor is pretty much identical but you get a 20MP sensor, a dedicated EC dial, updated venus engine and menus.

I like the look of the Fujifilm rangefinder-style cameras but none of them have IBIS which I would not like to be without having enjoyed it on my Panasonic cameras.
