I went and checked out the G6 and Gx7 this weekend and I have to say the Gx7 was bigger than I expected or liked.
The G6 was a lot cuter than I expected too….so Panny should probably lower the prices on the GX7 now that it lives in the shadows of the Olympus and they all are being trumped by larger sensor cameras by Sony, Nikon and Fuji so far
Lives in the shadow of Olympus? Hahahahaha! Where do y’all come up with this stuff?? Looking forward to reading Olympus sales data… Pen series not selling, as usual, so much in a hole, that they can’t really put anything on sale. False deals, etc…
M43 is alive BECAUSE of Panasonic. I see more Panasonic lenses on E-M5’s than ANY Olympus lens!
You Olympus Fanboys are sickening. Keep it up, we want people that come into M43 ti see how Rabid y’all are..
Here are some data, albeit limited:

Actually, I would say Olympus and Panasonic are pretty equal in their relationship, at lest in terms of the products they have put out. Sales figures, I don’t know.
Heres proof:

“Olympus is now hoping the E-M1, priced for the pro market at 145,000 yen ($1,500) for the body alone, will help it boost mirrorless and SLR sales by 24 percent to 7.3 million units to allow its camera business to finally break even for the first time in four years.”
Theyre “Hoping”… and currently, Panasonic is leading with the buzz from the GX7 and GM1, 2 cameras that are the basis of what M43 should be… one is a rangefinder style camera that everyone wanted, and the other is the smallest M43 camera available. And Lenses that most M43 users are using Panasonic lenses… so please, Olympus users should be thankful for Panasonic jumping in and making M43 relevant.
“one is a rangefinder style camera that everyone wanted,”
Did you know that talking for people other then yourself is more then a bit arrogant?
No, I don’t specifically want a rangefinder style camera because I want a centered viewfinder. May be hard to understand for you that someone would want something different from what you want, but alas, it does prove that not everyone wants a rangefinder styled camera.
Its pretty typical, people who scream, make a lot of noise, typically think what they say is the only possible opinion, as their noise simply makes it impossible for them to hear anything else.
Hey Mr Allcaps.
I am not an Olympus fanboy whatever a fanboy is..are you bullying me?
I own 3 panasonics…I can voice my opinion on them.
rico, rico, rico – another member of the cheapskate contingent on this forum. The GX7 is the RIGHT size, and is state of the art. It has the better sensor than the G6, has IBiS, and is very feature-rich. It is also selling well, and has had excellent reviews. What else can we teach you? (BTW, I own both Oly and Pany cameras.)
This is also the first time I partially agree with MrALLCAPS. What is this world coming to?
Uhm lets see…
rico says: “I have to say the Gx7 was bigger than I expected or liked.”
Thats an opinion, you don’t have to agree with it, but its clearly an opinion, expressed as opinion and about what rico likes.
Now lets look at your answer… “The GX7 is the RIGHT size”
Thats expressed as a statement of fact, not opinion, but this size thing is actually a matter of opinion, so who are you to decide for others that it is the right size?
Are you so insecure with your new purchase that you have to quell any opinion that doesn’t confirm your purchase for 110%? Sad and arrogant.
