GF5 vs. GX1 - What to Choose, $100 Difference.

I have the GX1 and it is a magnificent little camera. You cannot go wrong with this camera. You will be very pleasantly surprised by the IQ quality and your ability to control the camera to what you want. You will want some kind of viewfinder for bright light situations. I have the EVF but when I had the GF1, I used the Clearviewer from http://www.clearviewer.com and it was fine. I used the clearviewer with the GX1 but decided to get the evf. Clearviewer is only around $60 and is quite adequate and not large at all. Once you get used to the GX1, you will never or very rarely go back to your DSLR.
