With the benefit of hindsight I might have been better off going for the Oly compromise with a VF2. But I didn't, so let's see.

You may be surprised, I think you will love the GM5, it's a very capable camera and the minuscule size just makes it even more amazing.

I love mine. My EM1 and EM10 have not seen much use since the GM5 came along.

Panasonic have really nailed it with this teeny camera - can't really see how it could be bettered...

Also the Panny Custom modes, along with pin sharp video and even an in-camera Panorama mode that works brilliantly all leave Oly in the dust.

I think I have almost come 'full circle' with u43 - I started with a Panasonic GH2 then moved over to Oly EM5, EM1 and EM10 but now I'm back to Panasonic and it's a bit like a breath of fresh air...

I do love Oly's IBIS and Liveview modes though, along with their brilliant ergonomics, just not impressed with their menus, or their reliability record - dials failing/coverings peeling/lugs falling off/EVF's burning.....
