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.

Only if you're shooting fast action, then you may get some jello effect… distorted objects.

The GX7 and GX8 both deliver 12-bit images with the electronic shutter activated. The GM1/5  and G7 deliver 10-bit.
