That's my micro 4/3 set up, exactly. I got the GX7 + 20mm kit, and I added the 45mm later. Both lens a nice, although the 20mm could have a faster AF.

The GX7 is pretty nice as well, I just wish the shutter was quieter (the eshutter is very nice, but almost unusable during the night, as it gives fairly unreliable results).

Just curious, what makes the e-shutter unusable at night? I have the GH3 and haven't noticed any issues with the e-shutter but I don't recall ever using it in low light.

The only real problem with the electronic shutter can be with artificial lights like fluorescents and some LEDs which will show some pretty severe banding. If you're not sure about the type of light source, switch to mechanical shutter..
