Re: GX7 without the EVF?

As for more features on the GX7 yes an EVF, a tiltable LCD screen and a lot more buttons instead of using the menu screen. Also the flash syncs to 1/320 of a second instead of the GM1 which only goes to 1/50 and the GX7 has a bigger battery. That could be it. Definitely a much better package at a higher price and a much bigger size. Frankly I'll buy the GM1 as a carry everywhere camera and the GX7 when I know I'm just going out shooting.

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!
