My guess is that the 50-200, if and when it comes, will, more likely than not, come with an 1,5X converter.

I can fit an Ape Cube with my gm1 plus 14-140ii, plus 20, plus 45, plus some cloths (technical shirt and pants, 2 changes of underwear, light fleece, maybe flipflops), plus tablet in a 30 lt ...

... ... or Salomon; excellent trail and running backpacks at a fraction of the weight of the competition.  :-)

Depends on the pocket; it will fit nicely in jacket pockets and cargo pants, even in dress pants with pleated fronts (as long as you don't mind Mae West jokes) :-) Yes, and it leaves me wondering ...

rightly so don't even try, I don't. I don't think so had no problems with Watson (bh photo own brand) I have both. I am happy to use the 14-140, unless I wish to carry the camera in the jacket ...

I am planning a trip to Yucatan and Belize; maya archeological sites, colonial architecture, the rainforest. Light weight and flexibility are paramount. I plan to take with me my GM1 with the ...

Think of drones; and Blackmagics. There are always circumstances where smaller will be better - in fact a pro friend has even used a GoPro (attached to a ceiling corner) when he needed to take a ...

Honestly, I would second all that and IBIS besides; but we are still probably a long way from a new shutter and IBIS; rolling shutter cannot be improved without a new sensor and processor with ...

You mean you hated the evf itself or the pop-up function?

I think there is at least room for improving the manual controls and the evf (a pop-up evf would also make a 3" back screen possible); and Panny could always put in the latest processor too. And ...

The GM5 is on closeout sale at Adorama. It is no longer available at BHPhoto. And there are no rumors about a replacement model. Can it be that Panasonic has decided to kill those little gems? ...

There are several ways to skin this particular cat; a ZS100 as a back-up to a GM1/5, as well as a GM1/5 with a macro lens for special uses or with a small fast prime (say 12/2, 15/1.7, 17/1.8, ...

... and a second control dial, with an extra fn button in the middle, at the place of the focus dial, please!

Hey, what about me? NO, IT'S A MARKET OF FOUR*!!! :-);-) * (without counting the extra bodies Tom would buy)

Just to add  few word's to JC's advice: ... and the new Panasonic ZS100 ... in which case the Adorama deals are too good to miss http://www.adorama.com/IPCDMCGM5RL2.html 850$ (12-32 + 35-100) http: ...

Sony is supposed to have the quickest autofocus (among cameras of the same generation), unfortunately it has a rather poor lens selection. Fuji is supposed to have the edge in terms of IQ and ...

That's a hard one. There is not much difference between EM5 and GX80 in terms of size and weight; but I doubt that there will be such a big difference in terms of IQ either. On the whole I suspect ...

I am happy with my GM1. I would have been happier if it had at least one more dial (and button) - and an evf, which was only added with the GM5. I am less happy that there is no GM6 in sight. Well,...

Correct. But - and here is the rub - those who are not obsessed with shallow DoF (never mind those, like me, who learned photography back in the days when shallow DoF was considered something to ...

There we go again! Shot noise is relevant only once you start to get too much of it; with the latest generation of 4/3 sensors you only start to worry above 3200 ISO. And 4/3 has an advantage over ...
