I know the title is kind of wrong as I am leaning towards the GX7, but maybe someone can convince me that the E10 is actually a better choice than the GX7?

Have you tried holding the GX7 and E-M10? I was considering both of these as a second body. Given that my other body is a Panasonic, I thought I would naturally prefer the GX7. However, after trying both several times in shops, I decided that I liked the handling and EVF of the E-M10 better than the GX7.

At the time, there was a good cash-back offer on the E-M10 so it was much cheaper then the GX7 and that tipped the scales in its favour.

I can't comment on the body/lens combinations you were thinking about but I would be surprised if there were any issues.

Sadly I am on an dark and remote offshore Scottish Island and the nearest store is a 6 hour ferry ride away. Therefore there is no chance of feeling one or the other in my hands. In fact some retailers flat refuse to ship to my location due to added postage costs.

I do not think there is a UK cash back offer for the M10, only the M1. There is, however, a £50 cash back offer for the GX7.
