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.

Try them first. I had my doubts, but the tilting EVF is really great! The GX7 is SO much better than the GX1, which I also have, it's not even funny!

The BEST thing you can do is go into a shop and fondle the cameras. You need a visceral response to the thing otherwise you won't get he best out of it.  This is the main reason I ended up with the E-P5. I picked up and fiddled with as many m43 bodies as I could, and at the end of driving sales people mad, there was no way I wasn't going to walk out with an E-P5.

The hardest choice was......black or silver?
