hi , just joined and looking forward to getting the best out of my GX200. I purchased this camera as a back up to my sony A 700 and for taking street life photographs. wanted a camera that could slip into my pocket whilst around town and not heavy or bulky if out for long periods. first impressions are very good as the handeling is superb and ideal for what i want.
noise can be a bit of issue but i will proberly use at iso64 most of time anyways.
anyone else with thoughts on this camera?

Hi Gary and welcome on board! Despite the noisier output and smeared JPEG, GX200 is superb camera. There is really no problem between ISO 64-400, of course, if you use RAW. JPEG is unfortunately too smeared, at least for my taste. But it's a common problem of all cameras with small sensor. So using RAW and good RAW editor is always highly recommended.

only shoot raw so not a problem really like the fact you can set camera to bw mode and then use raw for your final edit.
