Originally posted by hnikesch I am looking at a Lumix DMC GM5 because of the larger sensor and the finder.
A small high quality tool, saves carrying a loupe too.I considered GM5 too but opted for GM1(250 saved).I have to carry a loupe for the bright days but have a flatter profile going in and out of my pocket when the body cap lens is on.
Both are very good, but image Q ratings are very close to the Q7, M43 has the advantage of the lens selection without an adapter.The touch screen is a major advantage as well.
The next generation GM will probably shoot 4K, stills and video & is worth waiting for(for me).If you don't need that capability the GM5 is the go.

Its got stereo speakers, picks up sounds better.However I cant fault the sound pickup from the Q7 either.
