Panasonix gx1 vs entry level dslr

If that is true, then you may be needing a skills upgrade. The GX1 does in fact compete easily with last-generation (and probably current generation) APS-C in many circumstances. Try shooting RAW, for one thing.

In almost all circumstances, the difference is irrelevant. I can even hand hold longish lenses, it comes down to technique and there are many ways to improve your stance or brace the camera. Still, I prefer to use my G5 or GH2 when I want to shoot long lenses so I can plant against my eye, but that different has everything to do with the EVF and nothing to do with any inherent dSLR advantage.

You need to learn how to read those DXOMark graphs ...

http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Compare-Camera-Sensors/Compare-cameras-side-by-side/(appareil1)/793%7C0/(brand)/Olympus/(appareil2)/698%7C0/(brand2)/Nikon

What you should note in that graph is that the comparable ISOs are one bar apart, with the OM-D at the left in every case. And since that point is higher than the same point for the D5100 (same camera ISO), you will come to realize that the current m4/3 generation has equalled or eclipsed the last APS-C generation. In that particular graph, the OM-D is about 1/3 to 2/3 stops ahead at each set ISO.

Really, you need an informational adjustment as you are spouting some inaccuracies and misleading people here ...
