I just made this call!

I had been shooting Panasonic m4/3 cameras as long as I've been using m4/3, but recently sold my GX8 and acquired an Olympus E-M1 II. The transition is a bit jarring since the controls are very different, but once you learn oly's logic there's no problem.

The lenses? Well, they all work perfectly. Yes, you'll still need to use the e-shutter for the 14-140 II, but all other lenses work as you'd expect. Even the 7-14 f4 works fine and I haven't see any shots with the dreaded purple fringing.

Lastly, if you're a stills shooter and shoot action, the Oly is a no brainer. It's a better stills camera than the GH5. HD and Live Time Exposure are killer features.
