As stated the new GM1 from Lumix is the same innards at the GX7 without EVF. Same chip, focusing system, etc.

Who would buy the GX7 without the EVF for $200 less? Since some people do not want or require an EVF and would like a smaller/cheaper camera, wouldn't it be nice to have that option. I would rather have 5-axis image stabilization and weather sealing, IMHO.

I've compared the GM1 vs the GX7 specification and the GX7 has many more options and features that the GM1 does not have, besides just the "same chip and focusing system". I do think that the GM1 would be a very good complement to the GX7. I also feel they are both priced about $100-150 above what they should be prices at right now. It will be very interesting to compare image taken side by side once the reviews are out. I think the GM1 will beat the RX100 in IQ as the smallest P&S (although slightly larger with lens) once all is said and done. It would also be a great belt pouch/take anywhere camera, especially with the new upcoming 15mm lens, IMHO!
