So my question to you is:
Loading ...
I can now confirm that the new High End OMD uses a modified E-M5 sensor. It has 16 megapixel but has on sensor PDAF and no Anti Aliasing filter. Along the new Processor this allows to achieve an improved image quality over the [shoplink 29074]Olympus E-M5[/shoplink].
I have been told this is a great camera with one issue only that is shared with the E-P5. Price could be too high (around $1500 or 1500 Euro).

The lens is said to have a better performance than the [shoplink 31225]Panasonic 12-35mm X lens[/shoplink]! And the quality is as high as the glorious [shoplink 25320 ebay]Zuiko 14-35mm f/2.0 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].

Here is a roundup of new GX7 tests:
1) Blunty posted that GX7 vs GH3 shootout. Click on play on the video on top to see the it.
2) Dpreview posted the GX7 studio comparison images.
3) ePhotozine (Click here) posted a new Panasonic Lumix GX7 Vs Olympus OM-D E-M5 Comparison Review:
While the cameras use different sensors, with Panasonic using their own sensor, and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 using a Sony sensor, they both produce similar levels of noise, with a slight benefit going to the GX7 at the highest ISO settings of ISO12800 and ISO25600.
4) Dpreview and Fotopolis posted some new full size image samples.
5) Richard posted this set of pictures on Facebook showing a ripped off GX7 body. Looks well made!
