The GX7 was released in 2013 or so. The appropriate Leica to compare it with is the M (240), which entirely outclasses it except, I guess, for smallness. The M240 definitely has cleaner low-light performance than any micro-4/3s camera I've used (or indeed than the Canon 5D Mark II I got to stop using when I got the M240). And it has live view for those times you want it to act like an SLR for, say, bolting it on a tripod and shooting setups with a macro lens and focusing by a magnified view of the actual pixels. WiFi? Tilty back screen? Those I can live without.
