I almost bought a GM5, then realized the add was from 2 years ago!

So, for a second body to my GX7 should I get a GF10 or a GX850??,. and is either camera worth it??

Honestly I would buy a "lightly used" or NEW GM5 if I could find one but it seems like there is a slim chance of that happening.

(unless we are surprised by a new GM7 in September,.. (wishful thinking??)

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers and happy shooting!

Hi Mike,

Are you looking for a smaller body size?  If so, look at Oly E-PL7 - 8 or 9.  Or, if you don't mind the same size, or similar size body, how about the Panasonic GX85?  I just picked up a used (nearly mint) GX85 to accompany my Oly E-M5 II.  The GX85 is a fantastic camera and also known in Japan (Asia) as the successor to your GX7, as the GX7 II.

Good luck in your search!

Tom
