[thxbb12]

I wish Oly would come up with a similar body as it addresses my main issues with the OM-D:

• Range finder form factor: makes much more sens than the OM-D which wants to be retro, but doesn't make much sense: why the hump for the VF? There is no mirror box! Sony understood that from the get go; I'm glad Panasonic is realizing it too (as well as Fuji)
  
• 1/8000: definitely a speed that is needed with MFT as with the numerous fast lenses, 1/4000 is not enough on a bright day (and please don't tell me a ND filter is a good workaround - it is not)
  
• Small focus point: Panasonic shines here compared to Oly and their huge focus points that are useless when accurate and precise focusing is needed
  
• I hope the GX7' IBIS will be as good as the OM-D, but I guess I can keep dreaming
  
• I hope the GX7 will allow one to use auto ISO in manual mode (something none of the Panasonic bodies can do); Pentax (TAv), Nikon and Oly implementations work very well
  

If the GX7 addresses all these points, I'll definitely buy one even if its price tag is around 1k.
