On another thread I was pondering between an E-M1 and the GH4. The price was putting me off a bit but was seriously looking at getting one of these as serious body. On another forum someone was selling a mint E-M5 in silver (Yum!) for a really great price so before I knew it I had done the deed and it turned up today.I have always wanted a E-M5 but every time I used one in the shop I kinda could not get on with the small buttons and put it to one side. I felt I just had to try one and for the money I just had to try this one. I took a few test shots this evening in dull conditions and one word comes to mind.....Impressive!!! I took JPG's and had a look at the files in LR5. The colours and sharpness/detail were really very good and the IBIS is stunning!! I also love where it focuses. It got it spot on every time where as the GX7 can miss on occasions. SO having the GX7 and E-M5 I will be able to assess which I prefer and see about possible upgrade later...maybe.Here is a quick test shot using the Panasonic 25mm f1.4 & processed in LR5.4
