Hi. I am long time reader of this forum.
I could not wait any longer and I bought used Panasonic GX7 plus used 12-35 f2.8 lens. Earlier I sold my two Canon lenses (not top quality, so not a problem) to pay for future camera purchase.
I was honestly ready to buy Canon camera if it included what I want. I could be next Canon client for M3, but Canon decided not to include feature I wanted most: build in viewfinder. What I wanted in my future camera was a smallest package with fever attachable accessories and with most features which are included in my Canon 7D. Although I like 7D very much it is a big camera and I found myself not to take it to some places. I often shot in bright, sunny places so for me viewfinder is helpful, also I like it for greater stability.
I know it is a common trend for cameras to be smaller and have LCD screen bigger at the same time, but let's think for a moment. Would you sacrifice smaller LCD screen for built in viewfinder? For example LCD could be 2.5" plus just a little bigger camera body size and this could allow for build-in viewfinder. I know I would buy camera like that. For what I have read so far M3 was almost perfect camera for me. Well, maybe next model. Until then I will just keep my cameras busy .
I apologize for any errors. English is not my native language.
