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

GX7

  • EVF

GX7, GX8

  • In body IS

GX7, GX8 (this requirement limits you to GX7, GX8)

  • ND fliter

Not needed with GX8 - it has a 1/16.000s electronic shutter and 1/8.000s mechanical shutter (GX7 also has a 1/8000s mechanical shutter)

Depends on the lenses. E shutter gives visibly less IQ and is precisely under those conditions
(too much light) not a real option if IQ is essential.

Panny and Oly would do well to build an ND filter in.

  • Flip out screen

GX8

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

But you should definitely check some Olympus models.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 II is a very good proposition. I would not rule it out, if I was you. It probably has the best 16MP 4/3 sensor.

Not an option as the single reason he wants to leave EPM2 is the menusystem that is the way it is on every Oly cam. Otherwise I would however agree with you that Oly seems to have a lot that he wants in a small package. IQ is very good aswell etc.

One small thing to keep in mind... users can better learn and become familiar with the Olympus menu system over time but you can't change any of the camera specs once bought.
