Re: Looking for a "fun" and compact travel cam: E-PL6 or GF7?

Hello

I own the GM1 and overall I'm very happy with the camera. If you don't know the GM1 is actually a GF7 but in a smaller body with a fix screen. Other than that they pretty much identicle in performance. The only problem you will encounter if you are planning to shoot fast moving objects like cars. The electronic shutter take time to capture the image and in the process create pictures of cars we can't buy in the show room.

If you are planning on taking photos of famous buildings in low light then the 15mm 1.7 is a good lens to have. Other than that the 20mm 1.7 should be enough but in my personal opinion I like to have a wide prime on my camera when traveling so I don't have to mess about too much while on the go.
