I know this is anathema to every single review site on earth, but I do not like the flipping screen and tilting EVF on the GX7. Having used the GX1 for more than two years, I have no need of either. I like solid cameras with no dangly bits to rip off or faff about with. The one lens I could not live without is my 25/1.4 and if I buy another u4/3 I will definitely be buying a 42.5/1.2.

Will I have problems with these lenses on a PEN? This is a very important factor,

I love my GX7 but if you do  not like the tilting screen why start a thread to compared it with another camera??? Just buy the E-P5. And if you are concerned about parts falling off defensively buy an Olympus body. I don't recall ever reading a thread about any Olympus bodies where the rear dial wheel does not respond, EVF burnouts, dials falling off, cover peeling off. It's like they were design by a higher being. But no camera is perfect. Good luck.
