E-PM2 or D5100?

To Kim,

Thanks for your responses. I follow your website and posts, and have made decisions based on your findings and opinions. I don’t use the D5100 for travel. For me, it is way too big/heavy for that. I am much, much more casual of a shooter than most on this forum. It is interesting that you do not have the shutter problem with the X lens on the GF3. Another review site published their findings and did have the problem. These conflicting reports from the experts makes things confusing.

When I travel, I prefer to have a camera in a small pouch on my belt, and I don’t want to change lenses. I am a point/shot guy on vacations ... no apologies. I don’t need much zoom, but a little is nice. I think the only compact lens that would work for me is the X lens.

Thanks,

David
