Re: which is better as the 2nd camera?

You mention about your experience other MFT bodies, but you've got to consider the lens too. The 17/1.8 is not exactly huge, but it's not exactly compact either. If you want a compact MFT option, like a GM5 perhaps, you need to select compact lenses too, like the 20/1.7, 14/2.5, or 12-32/3.5-5.6. If that's still too large, sure, stick with a compact.

Note that the RX100 has a smaller sensor, so its f/1.8-f/4.9 lens is equivalent to about f/2.4-f/6.6 in MFT. Perhaps that 14/2.5 doesn't look so slow anymore.

Regards,

Alan
