OK, I'm confused. Panasonic still has it listed as a current model...

Oh. Now that I look, the review is from 2014! Dang. Nope - don't want
anything that old. Strange that Panny still lists it as current.

They liked the viewfinder a lot more than the G95's which they said was
more or less adequate.

For my way of shooting, I much prefer the SLR-style body, especially with
the extra battery grip for verticals. I've tried the Leica-ish body styles,
and don't like the way they feel as much.

I'm in the early stages - I have a lot more research. I may just pony up
for the flat-rate repair on the E-M5 to buy myself some more time and give
myself a spare backup body.
