Apologies for the thinking aloud, but maybe something will come out of it...
My camera history over the last 7 or 8 years - LX3 which was my first serious digital camera, traded it in for a GX1 which I really liked but developed multiple faults probably due to being rattled about on a lot of bike trips, replaced with a GF5, which was a little used ebay bargain. Current lenses – 20mm, 45 – 150mm and 14mm which is probably for sale.
I started out liking the GF, mainly for the size, but as time goes on I'm using it less and less and I don't know why. It seems to be as capable as the GX1, the controls are not as intuitive but certainly not complicated, it does feel a bit of a backward step, but like I said the results are not.
I’m contemplating a GX80, in the hope I’ll enjoy it more, but am a bit nervous of spending what for me is a lot of money on something that won’t turn out to be an improvement. Thoughts?
