I would say the Panasonic GX7 would be a great value at this point and well worth getting.

Particularly when you compare using it with very fast lenses, you're going to get same image quality out of the GX/ in a lighter overall package and it is better for video.

There is also a brand new GX8 which is even better, but is more expensive than GX7 and bulkier (compared to the GX7, not the Nikon D).

Also a sleeper camera is the Olympus E-M10 as well. Simple, but really well done and fits great in the hand.

I will also echo the recommendation to go to the store and pick them up and handle them. A lot of surprises pop up there. Cameras you might have liked drop out and ones you didnt take seriously suddenly they come into the potential solution set.


If you do that in-store tryout, then do also try to buy the camera in store and support the retailer, I might add...
