The verdict states that while the camera is a solid performer that makes improvements over the GX8, it does not stand out enough from the crowd and relies perhaps too heavily on its touchscreen interface.

The review notes that while the camera is a great choice for those seeking a small device for stills and 4K video, it has flaws such as awkward control dial placement, and photographers should also consider competitors like the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III or Fujifilm X-E3.

The reviewer concludes it is a recommended all-rounder with a broad feature-set that competes well with larger-sensor rivals, though notes that vloggers might miss a microphone input and front-facing screen, and action shooters might prefer phase-detect autofocus.
