Re: Leaning towards to these options...

I'm biased (because I own one) but the EM10 would be my vote - EVF, IBIS, built-in flash, 0-sec SS are hard to ignore.  Later, you can add a 40-150 f4.0-5.6 for $99 (from US sites or on ebay)

The only Panasonic cameras I can warm up to are GM1/5 and maybe a GX7.  For dSLR like m43, I prefer Olympus.  Lens-wise, my only preference would be the lighter/smaller one of the two brands where applicable.

Having owned really good fixed lenses compacts like Panasnic LX3/5, I won't buy those again because I like ILC much much more especially the Pany GM1 when I want something small and capable.
