No Love?
Well, it's part of the reason I had been lurking, and since I finally was compelled to make a post again, I decided I should also be the first to post in here. I know there have to be some other GF users out there.
I know a lot of people like the GX series. And I would like to get one for my girlfriend after the GX2 launches. But that's because it offers quick access to manual controls, and it will be her primary camera.
For me, I have quick access to everything on my larger camera bodies, so I wanted the smallest package I could get. I have the GF5, and currently only have the 14-42X. What a wonder it is, a 28-84 equivalent with built in image stabilization, and it's so small! The only other lens I plan to get for myself is the 20 f/1.7.
But I am happy with the camera in the short time that I have owned it.
This is largely the situation I got it for, indoor people photography, when going out. Can push the ISO a touch get a fast enough shutter without a flash (especially once I get the 1.7), not have to lug an enormous camera around everywhere (let's face it, there are situations when a full body camera like the D3s, or even E-X is just not appropriate, or at least annoying) and the picture quality doesn't go in to the dumps:

Some more quick snaps I have taken with it:

Captures great colors, too:



The sharpness of the X lens has impressed me a lot. I was a little worried about it, but I have gotten some great shots from it. That lens is really a little marvel.
