Hi

Just on the GM1 lacking the swivel/tilt screen, you can operate the camera from a smartphone, so in SOME circumstances you can overcome that limitation.

I actually find that the GM1 handles very well. Much better than you would think. It is not so obvious on first using it, but once you get familiar with the way things work it is in fact really quite intuitive and nice to use.

I am still not suggesting you get one given your circumstances, although I think the m43 offering serves the majority of needs very well.
