@ greenjp

JPEG, only. And, admittedly, for most of my travel photography, I don't even utilise the 16mpix, shooting in medium resolution to save hard disk space. During the holiday break, I might look into RAW with the more 'artistic' shots. But I feel that it requires much effort, to learn how to handle RAW files, that is. And now I can't get distracted with it. The boosted dynamic range on the newer models is also an allure.

Haha, thank you, sir! This is the kind of thing I wanted to hear/read. I dare to be different, that's one of the factros why I've chosen MFT.

@ LMNCT

I'll probably postpone the decision until the G7 to hit the shelves. It's a shame that the G series doesn't have in-body stabilisation, which would be super useful with my sigma lenses and the Olympus 60mm macro lens.

The ergonomics of the Olympus was a big let down. Figures that when the time for the upgrade comes, I'll get another Lumix.
