beeftweeter, you seem to know a lot about micro four-thirds hardware... I'm looking to upgrade my camera body, any suggestions as to a cheap (used?) option that gets me a better sensor than what I have now? I'm currently using an ancient Panasonic Lumix GX1 that I got used in 2015 for $160, and it's served me well over the years, but the sensor shows its age if you get into the higher ISO levels, and there's zero in-body image stabilization, which sometimes makes it challenging to use my favorite lens, which is... Beeftweeter posted:panasonic also makes a pancake 20mm portrait that my wife has, it's not quite as fast as the 25mm (i don't remember offhand but i think it's f/1.9) but it's a good lens too I had been hoping that I could just go and score another old-but-newer body for <$200 like I've done before, but it looks like used camera prices are a lot higher now than they were last time I shopped? The GX7, which is the next model after mine but still almost a decade old at this point, seems to still be going for close to $300 on ebay. I guess I'm willing to pay more than I did last time around, but are there any sweet spots in the micro 4/3 camera body market? I definitely don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just a higher quality sensor than I have now (which includes... just about everything made in the last decade, probably)

thanks, good to know that even the GX7 would be a big bump in sensor quality. i'll probably just keep searching for a good deal on a GX7 or newer. (I think I'm going to be taking my time now, I'm in no rush after getting a surprise bill from the auto mechanic this morning.)
