Panasonic has essentially upgraded the firmware of the GF7 to make the GF8 camera, which it is marketing as a camera made for selfies.

The GF8 will be available in several colors – pink, silver, brown and orange – in a faux leather wrap. Just don’t expect to see it outside of Asia unless you look for an imported version. For price comparison, the GF7 retailed for $599 at launch last summer.
