Don't forget the GH3! GX7 or E-M1 may be new and sexy, but the GH3 has something neither one of them (nor the EM-5) has: fully articulated screen. It could come in handy in some circumstances. I don't know about the new EM-1, but GH3 is very comfortable to use due to its size and shape.

IQ-wise, it's safe to say that EM-5, GH3, GX7, EM-1 will be more or less similar. Feature-wise, each has their unique features.

In short, GH3 is not obsolete by the GX7, but EM-5 is looking a bit long in the tooth next to EM-1.

GH3 is a wonderful camera but it's just too big for what I want. I'm already presuming it would be the same with the E-M1 but till I actually hold it in my hands, I can't say. Considering I have a GF1, an E-M5 isn't really "long in the tooth". I would have no problems with it's capabilities. Actually would love to have it's weather proofing, jpeg engine, etc. etc. but it just didn't feel right in my hands. Maybe the E-M1 would change my thoughts on general Oly ergonomics (physical or UI).

Who knows, I may hate the feel of the GX7 and continue to wait for something else...which would probably be a good thing since I can then focus on getting better lenses...
