Hey, I just sold my ancient Canon T1i and horribly built 50mm 1.8 and ordered a refurbished GX7 off of evilbay. I am extremely excited about the stylish and compact form factor of M43 as well as all of the modern touches.

My only concern is bokeh though.... I have only shot APS-C and I wanted to know if the difference is very noticeable in day to day shooting. I understand about crop factors and all of that so I'm not looking for scientific explanations, just your personal opinion.

Thanks

Bokeh is more a property of the lens than camera.

That said, even if you just mean out of focus blur or if you do mean Bokeh, m4/3 can do very well with the right lens just as FF can have very deep DOF and little blur with a different lens.

Plenty of lenses with a GX7 will give you what you want I think.

Good luck and happy hunting finding the ones that you like.
