A word about brands. Panasonic is a giant electronics corporation. Their cameras tend to be somewhat... loveless. Perfectly functional of course, but kind of generic. Many people don't care. Some do. Olympus on the other hand has a way of designing cameras that imbue them with a certain something else -- character, or spirit, or attention to detail... Don't ask me to qualify this! It's just something I've noticed in my own experience and in reading many online comments -- it's a kind of apples/oranges difference between "I love my Olympus camera" vs. "my Panasonic is very good". Have you tried Olympus cameras?

Well I love my GH4 very much. Fantastic equipment that works. Still I agree that the OMD series looks far more appealing.
