Re: I need some help ...

The GM5 with the 12-32 kit lens is a nice combination.  That lens is sharp, not especially fast, but it delivers good images.  There are two lenses that I can think of which are available used for not too much money and those are the 14 2.5 and the 20 1.7.  Before you turn your nose up at the 20, remember that it is a Panasonic lens and that it seems to work better on Panasonic bodies.  The GM5 rides backup for a lot of M43 bodies and it can operate with any lens that you have.  It may not be "pocketable", but it is not a toy either.  If you want a pocket camera, Canon has a whole slew of silver P&S cameras (I calll them bars of soap) which do a pretty decent job...but, they are not interchangeable bodies and they will not return the image quality of the GM5.
