Panasonic GM5 gets tested at Dpreview:

Dpreview tested the Panasonic Gm5 and writes:

Where the GM5 does come through is with a good user experience, in two ways. It’s easy to use, thanks in large part to its healthy dose of direct physical controls, and it’s easy to have on hand. If smallness is a priority, the GM5 is a very nice daily companion. You won’t get better images with a camera this size. If size is anywhere other than the top of your priority list, then I’d suggest looking elsewhere. The GM5 does a lot well, but its APS-C competitors are hard to ignore in this class, and in many cases they’re cheaper.
