Great advices!

Even with the 15 or 17 prime, the GM1 is much bigger than the RX100.

The RX1 was given to me, so I'd be happily keeping it. E-M1 definitely stays.

Maybe, I'll let the LX100 go and keep the rest. But its video is so much better than others. The Macro is also good. And it has a viewfinder.

I took E-M1 with the pro zoom, 17 prime and the RX100 to China. I found myself using RX100 maybe 80% of the time. The E-M1, as small as it is, is just too heavy to carry when coupled wi the pro zoom. I only used it when I know there'll be some action shots.

Keep the RX100, or upgrade to a newer model if one of those will meet all of your needs better. What don't you like about the RX100?

Sounds like the E-M1 really isn't for you.

I like the RX100, except the handling. The newer models are not better in this regard.

Maybe you are right. I got the E-M1 because I was shocked how bad the E-M5 II was at c-af. I still had my 40D at the time and the E-M5 II surprised me. Its c-af was useless.

The E-M1 is no where near a DSLR for c-af, but it works, sometimes. No other m43 cameras worked better than it, before the E-M1 II.
