Please don't get stirred up into a hissy over this. Just a reference to an article on a very well known site about the dreaded 'E' subject. A very well written article as far as the technical ...

Well the second of those links has my name at the top and yes I own a 6D. What exactly are you trying to imply?

Yes. I've been waiting for something like that since the GM1 was introduced. Doubt it will ever happen. Looks like GM line is dead to me. Hope I'm wrong.

Would you like them to stop introducing new cameras and features?  Really this is the only way to avoid that feeling you've somehow been cheated when newer, better models appear.  This is a fact ...

You have enough spare time to spend 20 hrs a week doing a hobby?  Wow, I want your job/life! Seriously, you do bring up a good point, and that is the more you use something, the less expensive it ...

Yep. You can't have everything in a small body. I'd also like IBIS. Heck I'd be happy with a flash shoe ) in addition to the built in flash). Would love a decent EVF. If you're gonna make a camera ...

Not gonna go there anymore.  We could go 50 replies deep and I know from past experience in this place that you nor anyone else with like thinking is going to change their mind.  Lets just let it ...

No m43 camera is what I would call truely pocketable.  By that I mean fitting in average pants pockets comfortably.  I have the GM1 and with the 12-32 it can fit in cargo shorts if needed, but is ...

How about a fresh idea? Make a square sensor that will entirely cover the image circle of a m43 lens? Then allow the user to select any aspect ratio they want including reading the whole sensor ...

Just remember the f4 on the APS-C is like f2.8 on m43. So that zoom is effectively as fast as the 2.8 zoom on m43. This is something a lot of people often overlook. I shoot a 6D with 24-70/4 and ...

Whole point of GM is not having to carry around a camera bag. I'll have to tell that to my photos where I used the flash. Strange - I take mine along all the time.  Don't feel any need to leave it ...

Well I guess we could go on forever, but Panasonic isn't going to listen to anything we write here anyway.  I guess you'll just have to have your opinion and I'll have mine.

Whatever you want to do with your camera is fine with me.  Hey, why don't we carry around a flash bracket and reflector at all times too. There are degrees of everything.

Try this, put the flash on a GM5 and then try to put it into a coat pocket.  Hopefully you'll get the idea then.

I think you sort of miss the point of the GM series.  The point isn't to make what you refer to as a 'serious' camera, but a very portable camera.  It isn't intended to compete with an EM1 etc.

Why drop the built in flash to include an equally crappy, easy to loose, PITA to carry around, small underpowered one?  Yes, I know built in flashes have limitations, but sometimes you just need a ...

2 thoughts 1) Use the built in flash when you don't want to carry an extra flash along 2) Use the 270EX when you do need an external flash.  Very capable little flash.  I have used mine on a number ...

If you are only getting the 5D for that one lens it might not be the best solution. Sadly m43 lacks a wide angle zoom that is both high IQ and affordable. Best bet might be to search for a used ...

No.  It is a great camera.  I purposely bought it over the GM5 because I wanted the built in flash and better rear screen.  It is probably my favorite m43 camera.  The 15 should do well on it, but ...

I buy a lot of stuff refurbished.  I just bought an Oly 14-150 II for $320.  It is usually $400, but they had a 20% off sale going on which happens pretty regularly.  I did have to pay shipping ...
