Thanks but a fixed lens camera will limit any future expansion opportunities.

In that case then either the EM5/10, EP5 or the GX7.

I would not bother with the GM1 or EPM2 taking the above list into consideration as your planing on expanding and the GM1 would be a total dead end.

Of course it wouldn't be a dead end. I regularly use my GM1 with the 12-32 kit zoom and my 14/2.5, 20/1.7, 45/1.8 primes. All compact lenses which go fine with the compact body, as would the 17/1.8, 12/2.0 which I don't have, and the 15/1.7 which I plan to get. I also sometimes use it with the 75/1.8 and 12-50 (for "macro") and old legacy lenses on a focal length reducer.
