I have been eyeing Panasonic Lumix GM1 and GM5 since they arrived but due to lack of interest from the local retailer, the local retailer put a super high price on GM1 and hasn't even listed the GM5.

So given that the M10 has practically speaking the same size as GM1/GM5 and will most likely be available locally, it of course raises my curiosity.

Just a Link with the GM-1 and the M-10 with a kit lens.

Please that the new Canon kit-lens is smaller then the ones available in this comparison. However it's still almost twice the length of the panasonic kit-lens. meaning the Panasonic is still significantly smaller and a third lighter(as a kit)

and it's a m43's with a smaller sensor, and much smaller back lcd, and more expensive.

So I don't think their customer base only contains asian women but also everyone looking for small extra body with high image quality.

If that was the case they shouldn't have used a 6 year old sensor. They have 2 recent Apsc sensors on the shelve. Why they picked this crappy one is beyond my understanding

crappy one? then what do you call every single m43's sensor, because they all really do perform worse or the same on a per pixel basis.

not to mention that APS-C sensors for the most part are all in the realm of diminishing returns, so to call one "crappy" .. shows really why you pop into canon forums on a ongoing basis.

even DxO rates the GM1 and M2 as a draw with it's bizzare score

seems your bias is leaking through, may want to try that again.

while it's an older sensor, it's from the M2 / SL1 rebel series of that nature, which certainly isn't a six year old sensor.

Besides, m43's is pretty famous for reusing sensors for years, fuji reuses sensors for what seems to be a decade, what's wrong with canon reusing a sensor on what is a very basic entry level camera?
