Silver and black GX7 still listed as in stock at B&H (with 14-42 kit zoom).

B&H and Adorama had another price drop on the kit combo. As of Monday, Adorama had the GX7+14-42mm Ver 2+$50 gift card for $548 with free super saver shipping. They are moving these out for the GX8. The rumor sites say the GX8 won't be here until September but I would not be surprised if it is earlier since they are running closeout specials on the GX7. No doubt the GX8 will be nice but I bet the price will jump back up to the $1k range like when the GX7 was introduced.

Tracey Curtis-Taylors's 1942 Boeing Stearman was fully restored by 3G Classic Aviation in Hungary during 2012/13. It has a Lycoming 680 radial engine with 300hp, is fitted with extra fuel tanks in the top wing for increased range, has a top altitude of 10,000ft and a cruise speed of 90mph. She completed a flight from Cape Town, South Africa to Goodwood, UK in 2013. She just completed from the UK to Sydney, Australia early this year. The aircraft was shipped to Seattle and reassembled and tested at the Historic Flight Foundation and will leave in about a month to fly across the US.

Have you never been annoyed at how live view stops updating and the live histogram stops working once the shutter speed hits 1/1000 second in manual mode?
I like the GX7 too, but those silly limitations really turned me off on it, and quickly, as I often shoot at f2.8-4 outdoors and like relying on watching the histogram and/or live view to see how my shutter speed and/or aperture changes are affecting the exposure before I press the shutter release and with the GX7, once that 1/1000 second ceiling is hit, you're done, left in the dark, literally, as the screen stops updating and you don't see what the resulting exposure looks like until you review the image if you happen to have selected any other shutter speed between 1/1000 and the 1/8000 second top speed. Obviously, with many of the files in this thread, 1/1000 second was well short of what was being used. The images are beautiful.
If one were using any other exposure mode, be it program, aperture priority or shutter speed priority, the limitation disappears. It's only in manual mode that Panasonic limits the live view and live histogram of the GX7 to the 1/1000 second maximum shutter speed.
For a camera to be as loaded with features and then place such a limitation on the manual exposure mode is just plain silly.
