Thanks all for the discussion.
I had not seriously considered the GM5 because I didn't realise it has a built in viewfinder.
Perfect camera on paper. Why does anyone buy anything else? What have I missed?

Cost, (as you yourself mentioned,) it's way too expensive, at least it still is here 'Down Under' ($1099)...

I managed to pick up an as new GM5&12-32, 2nd hnd in perfect condition complete with extra ($85!) battery for $450 otherwise I would still be waiting for the price to drop...

Also it's probably a wee bit too small to be considered as your 'only' camera but it makes a great 2nd body or casual carry-around for when anything else is just too big/heavy/conspicuous
