A great benchmark.

Do you still have that XC10?

Indeed it is, and indeed I do!

Haven't turned it on in.. well.. some time.  

I must admit I find it funny that my first video-first camera was the XC10 but moved on because I wanted shallower DoF, and now I'm back to shooting deep DoF with a 10x zoom lens.  This is why I never sell anything - I've lost count of the number of times I learn something new and then pull things out of the discard pile again, and although it's mostly lenses, you never really know.

Man, I lost my GX7 years ago --and when I look at that 1080 footage I still find myself coveting it.

I think you should.

I think you’d be pleasantly surprised at the degree of enhancement the accumulated knowledge of these intervening years brings.

It’s a camera that has always appealed to me and I’ve been waiting patiently to pick a used one up for £200 for years now.

Still waiting !

Which is likely a testament to how many people have held on to them and are still getting great results .

I had that camera for about 1 month and then sent it back to Amazon because the GX80 came out at the same time. Still, I recorded some great moments on it. One of the videos is so precious that I have it on my desktop at all times.
