I am completely new to m43 but having suffered airline weight issues on a recent trip to Africa and needing long focal length for birds i am putting together an m43 travelling kit. I have decided on the GX8 because it is being discounted heavily right now and, in any case, I prefer its ergonomics to the EM1. However, I have been told that, despite the common mount, Olympus lenses are better suited to Olympus bodies and vice versa. Now this is presumably an IS issue but both the LP100-400 and Oly 300/4 have IS built in so I am wondering whether there will be a big difference. Any thoughts here will be welcome because, although pricing commends the LP, the Oly 300 looks to be a cracker.
Pick the body you want and don't worry about supposed "better" performance. I love the Oly body capabilities but honestly the Pany bodies are more of a pleasure to shoot, and Pany's DFD AF (esp w/ Pany lenses) is spectacular.

Not only that but I've honestly found some Oly glass focuses faster on my GX8 than it did on the EM1, at least with regards to the 75mm f1.8
Thinking of getting A M/43 Camera and 1 lens for street photography. What you guys recommend? EM1, EM5II OR EM10II I honestly have no clue what the difference is between them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a Sony a7 and bunch of lenses but my wife uses them.
mustafa604,
For street photography the EM10II will be the best. Smallest of the three so it can be very inconspicuous. It is considered a great street camera.
The Wild Horse Fire Lookout located in the Salmon Challis National Forest. Built in 1935 by the CCC and manned until 1945. It is now maintained by volunteers and a very small amount of money from the Forest Service.
