I picked up a EPM2 that was being heavily discounted at local store, just to see what all the fuss was about. Well for $200 and a kit lens, I'm blown away by the quality compared to my LX7. It even rivals my Nikon D300s and now I'm sold on this system and looking to get into it properly.

I want to stay with Panasonic because I find the menu system of the Olympus cameras way too complicated. I need the following:

  • Relatively compact
  • EVF
  • In body IS
  • ND fliter
  • Flip out screen

Do any of Panasonic's cameras have these features and if not, what camera does?

Thanks

Err, are there any ILC with built in ND filters? Ignoring that, the older but still GX7 comes closest to what you want, the GX8 is newer and more full featured but also pretty large by M4/3 standards... Might not be an issue yo you given what you're coming from.

They're the only Panasonic bodies with IBIS, for any more options you'd have to start looking at Oly again. The GX8 has a fully articulated screen btw, tilt only on the GX7, not sure which of the two you meant by 'flip out'.
