After renting the E-M5, E-M1, GX7, and GM1 for a week, I think the E-M5 is a piece of shit. The E-M5 without the half-grip actually is less comfortable than the tiny GM1. The other three are good, but the E-M1 is definitely best. If you're looking into m43, I highly recommend renting several bodies; I've owned the Panasonic G3 in the past, and I hated the E-PL5 in less than five minutes. Other people have different reactions, so caveat emptor! Overall, I think the E-M1 is most likely to feel comfortable to someone who likes Pentax. ;-) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
