Congrats on your new GX7 / GM1, and lenses.

which camera will be your "go to" camera? GX7 or GM1?

do you intend to carry two (or three) cameras at the same time on assignment?

post some pics here once you get the new camera(s).

regards.

We're going to go with the GX7 in the first instance, and probably only go with the GM1 if:

1. Find that theres times we would rather have the LX3 with us for size issues

or

2. They release a GM1 12-32 35-100 super kit making it a no-brainer.

If we find we don't have an issue with the GX7 size, that's the point of difficult decisions on what zoom combinations to get!  14-42pz + 45-150, or 14-140 mk2, or alternatively go with  35-100 2.8. Or even just 75mm. But lets leave that until later!!!!!!

The GM1 is going to come into its own when walking, when the Lx3 on a hip belt is super easy, and just having in my work bag in the city.
