Re: Panasonic GM1 compared to NEX-5R. Should I consider switch?

Hi

I so not have the NEX, but I have the GM1 and EM-5 so can make some observations.

Honestly, I think sticking with what you have and getting the lens you want and need is the better option for you. The GM1 with the kit lens and the 20mm and 45mm for low light is great, but it is a 2nd body for me and I can step up to the EM5 when I need to.

If you were using something a lot bigger and wanted something a lot smaller for travel then yes, but that is not the case for you.

I also think it would be nice if the GM1 could use usb to charge.
