I just took delivery of two new GX8s, one all-black, one with a silver-colored top line. A few days ago, I said I thought the new Leica S was the prettiest camera I'd ever seen, based on Michael's photos. I'm taking that back. The GX8s are prettier, at least, for old folks. They remind me a lot of early high-end mechanical Kodaks, which is maybe why I like them...they take me back to the good old days. And while I've had them for less than 24 hours, they are seriously capable. I bought them to replace two GX7s, which I like a lot, but the 8s really do seem (so far) in almost every way better.
