A6000 vs NX500 against the GX7? But I guess I don't really need a new camera...

From what i've read I like that the Sony's sensor is basically full frame (???) but dislike that there's not touch screen so I feel like changing the focal point would be a pain in the ass.

The a6000 has an APS sensor. Compared to the GX7, high-ISO noise performance is about 1/2 stop better. More fast primes are available for MFT, and these can tilt the high-ISO advantage toward MFT. a6000 pixel count is 50% greater, but you'll need a better lens than the kit zoom to actually benefit from the sensor's higher resolution. And, 50% more pixels translates into prints that are 12% bigger in each dimension - not a big difference, IMHO. a6000 C-AF is better, but GX7 S-AF is faster, especially in low light. a6000 EVF is bigger but lower-rez.

Panny's Touchpad AF is a must-have, in my book.
