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

I think the GX8 is fits most of your criterias.  Besides if you plan to keep the camera until it dies, price shouldnt be much of a concern unless you switch everyone year.  Secondly, Panasonic menus are indeed easy to use and it is consistent from camera to camera.  Third, Panny cams are extremely reliable, never had any issues, knock on wood.  Then there's the focusing accuracy and speed is unparalleled (Oly fanboys will get their panties in a bunch after reading this last point lol).  Sure you give up a little in color (mostly preference really), but you gain a lot more in other respects.
