The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I bought about a month ago to replace the GX-7. For such a price, just a gift, even taking into account the dollar exchange rate. Unfortunately, when shooting in 4k, the crop is already completely indecent, so it makes sense to immediately think about purchasing wide-angle lenses. The 12-35 2.8 lens is generally becoming extremely necessary.
With its pros.
- Price;
- Shoots video in 4k;
- Built-in stabilizer, which also works in 4k;
- Charging via USB;
- Old battery format, no need to change.
With its cons.
- Large crop (about 2.5) in 4k mode;
- Very slow focusing in 4k mode.
