FWIW I was in Iceland last year and didn't think it was horribly expensive. There are budget dining and accomodation options, and prices in general seemed somewhat cheaper than Norway or Denmark, ...

In 2014 I took a Sony RX100 III with a pop-up viewfinder to Europe and hated it. (That wasn't the only thing I hated about the camera.) The GM5 with the 12-32 is about as pocketable as the LX100, ...

The only reasons to get the 12 over the zoom are 1 extra stop in low light, and more compact size. Otherwise the 12-40 is at least as well made, manual focusing is IMHO smoother, plus it's ...

Ideally, I'd like to see Olympus do a GM5-ish camera with weather-sealing, a bigger EVF, IBIS, and if possible a tilting screen. Sort of like a shrunken Pen-F. FWIW, I took an RX-100/3 overseas ...

So, I've just come back from a 4 day music festival. Almost all of the pros were using Canikon and f2.8 zooms though there were a few with Leicas or similar, and one person with m43. If one has to ...

So, I have a similar problem. Will be travelling in India/Nepal for two months, including trekking and maybe cycling. I do not want to carry a laptop or tablet, but will be taking an Android ...

I've ended up with both the 35-100 and the 75; my main use for both has been music festivals and gigs. The 75 is a great lens and IQ is stellar, but I got sick of swapping lenses frequently; ...

Can't help with the grip question, but the GM5 feels okay to me with lenses up to the 35-100 f2.8 (IMO). The Olympus 75-300 is overkill though, and feels too big and heavy to be comfortable. With ...

FWIW, I haven't noticed issues with shutter shock despite many low light photos indoors. Whether you might find the 12-50 kit lens useful or not depends on what you'll be using the camera for. In ...
