Re: White balance with mixed light sources?
Skin tones? White balance? I've never experienced better than the Panasonic AWB. The way it handles fluoro + flash + natural light is excellent. I am on AWB with both my GX7 and G6 99% of the time.

I have to respectively disagree with you here.

I find Olympus' AWB (with keep warm colors off) to be very accurate, especially with flash. I've never really had to switch it due to it being fooled. Not only that but I find it be very consistent shot-to-shot.

Now with my GX8 I've found its WB system to be my biggest gripe with the thing. It's constantly getting fooled in mixed lighting and with flash I always have to tweak it to get it right. Now full disclosure, the GX8 is my first foray into Panny-land and my issues may be purely from inexperience with their system. It's definitely not a deal-breaker for me, but I find I gravitate back to my OM-D whenever I do any work with flash.
