I already have A6000 and A5100  - I will get A6300 but wish Panasonic could up their game with PDAF etc

They played it safe with the design ...spot the difference; effective but not sexy!

The sensor sounds good but the 16:9 lcd and EVF, no touch screen or IBIS makes it look expensive

I did of course mean the system is dead!

30mm F2 nice for stills and tiny but awful for video -continuous focus noisy and takes for ever. 20mm is quicker focusing but not as nice 45mm is less versatile (67mm equivalent) but very good for ...

I think if you have the lenses or don't intend on buying that many the body is fantastic.  But I would not invest in the lenses knowing there are no new bodies coming down the line

I have GX7 and the grip is odd shape but in terms of design I think they ticked most boxes, and value is great. I am undecided on the GX8. I was hoping for more in terms of image improvements, ...

A triumph of style over substance; and priced to compete with full frame and fuji Xpro 2 - that is just NUTS, it is really sad that m43 is just going for fashion consumers!

GH2 was very successful so I think GH4 went more pro and 4k = heat issues made it get bigger and heavier GM5 is not full featured viewfinder and flash synch compromised and no touch screen. G7 has ...

Xpro 2 looks good but I am not sure about how useful the hybrid/optical viewfinder is -it adds a lot to the cost but also not sure if it is good for glass wearers. I am going to update my XE2 with ...

I had a G6 and as people are saying light is just that -not poor build.   Remember heavy cameras hit the ground a lot harder and metal dents -polycarbonate bounces.  -I would agree they don't feel ...

Just XE2 -waiting for the 4.0 firmware  -been tempted by XT1...but now XPRO 2 looks very nice but £1349 in UK too much-maybe next year!   I also have A7/A6000 and I think next buy will be A7RII ...

Look at Sony RX100 grips they fit a treat! I used an unknown brand Ebay grip larger than the Sony one and it is fantastic.. I also bought a metal screw on grip for Gm1 and 10 mins modifying with a ...

I just looks like camera shake to me ..1 second shutter is very slow not sure why it was set at that?

The GX1 has a poor rear screen so you will need the EVF.  I don't think you will see much difference in image quality, movie quality is better on GM5 though.

I often think about it as I have the Zuiko 25mm which is faster but bigger and not as wide; but they have fallen in value and now I have a GM5 it looks great on that! I sold the pan leica 25mm f1.4 ...

I always fit them as the the camera lcds are much softer than phones -no gorilla glass on cameras yet; but that would be a great idea. I find the cheap ones no different from the expensive ones

Digital cameras are all about the sensor as any manufacturer can get glass? Sony has the others on a lead waiting for the latest sensors but Samsung are even further ahead...Canon well at least ...

APSC a dead system? I think Sony make enough money on A5000, A5100, A6000 to ensure that there will be new bodies, I am sure they would love everyone to go FF A7 series but they know it is not ...

Complicated; but as you say that is a good deal; though the price is going to come down quickly  I think.

That is a very underrated lens- i like my one! I would go with OIS in the lens at this focal length but you could experiment to see which option works best.
