Sensor difference are minor
2

The GX7 might get my money one day, but not because of the sensor. Any differences between the GX7, GH3, EM-1 and EM-5 sensors are trivial (ignoring the PDAF pixels). The GX7 offers a form factor that no other m43 camera does, and that's why I might buy it, once the prices come down. For a walk-around camera, it's more convenient than my GH3, and OM-D (either model), or an EP-5 with an EVF.

I'm not convinced it's any better a walk-around camera than my G3, though. Only in a few situations would the improvement in sensor be noticeable.

For my needs, the EM-1 offers no benefit over my GH3.
