In Sweden it can be ordered for about 750 EUR
Size seems to be very similar to GX7.
Specs are impressive, except for the short battery life.
Looks really nice, but I miss the tilting viewfinder.
I'm confused about the viewfinder. Is it 16:9 for stills or only for video?
And do you get 4:3 size on the stills image capture or not?
Really nice looking camera though.

One of the best but unheralded features of the GX-7 was the amazing 1/320s X-Sync. GX-80 is step back (stop back?) mediocre 1/160s.

Viewfinder - I never had a GX7. I did like the GH viewfinders though.
(and I am not a fan of the E-M5 II viewfinder)
Why are you not a fan of the E-M5 II VF if I may ask?
3 different ways to view stuff, option to make it show the environment as an optical view finder would (i.e, bright in bright conditions, dark in dark conditions), and a bunch of other options.
Kind regards, Wim
