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.

The sensor is better than your Nikon 300s to be exact, not much but still....

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?

Not possible because of the ND filter, IBIS and flipout screen.

If you can do without flippy and ND: GX7.
If you can do without IBIS and ND: G7 (but it is not THAT compact).
GM5 is very nice too, just the EVF is kind of small actually. It is as compact as your LX7 bodywise!

Thanks
