Love my GM1

I've toyed with the idea of getting a GX85, but that EVF stopped me cold. I ended up with the E-M5ii a few years back, and haven't regretted it - slightly taller, but weathersealed and with a much better VF experience.

However, if they could figure out how to update the GM5 with the GX9 sensor and shutter without increasing the size much, I'd take the EVF and IBIS penalty... was definitely jealous of the wife's GM5 on this past trip. The GM5 + PL15 was a lot more compact than my E-M5ii + PL25.

Even though my main camera is the GX8, for a little while, while my son was in diapers, I just couldn't lug around my GX8 with all the other hoard of crap I had to carry around (diaper bag, stroller, etc. etc.) and keep sane so my GM1 became my most used camera (along with my RX100 and smartphone). So yes, I hear you. Put in a modern sensor and update that EVF on the GM5 (can stay the same size, just use the same tech as the GX8) and it'll rise to the top of my want list (a modernized GX8 or a GX9 with GX8 EVF would also be at the top).
