Most people would say buy from JL. Jessops is also same price.

Thinking to swap a5100 with stock lens for this...

I assume my old G3 lenses will for this without an adaptor ?

Gravesy 166: Any Micro FourThirds lenses will work, including those on a G3.
Ruffuz: Interesting call on that - call CameraWorld and they might buy it from you.

I went through a couple of m4/3 cameras including the G3. I never really got on with them and never found the photos to be any better than a good bridge camera. They were fiddly to use, slow to focus in anything except good light and even raw photos didn't produce brilliant results. And the sensor doesn't quite seem big enough to get some nice depth of field effects even with a fast prime. Last year I looked to upgrade again and was underwhelmed by the GX7 after playing with it for an hour in Jessops. In the end I swapped my G3 and lenses for a Sony a6000 with kit lenses and a prime... Much happier.
It was probably just me... but try before you buy.

Fair enough. I find the Panasonic menu system not so intuitive myself, despite having owned several. Nor do the buttons lie naturally, so I find I have to take my eye from the viewfinder just to change settings. Slows everything down. I would still put image quality from almost any MFT camera with a decent prime above a high end bridge camera (if you know what I mean!)
Tempted by the a6300. The AF alone looks to trump anything in its price range.

I'm also one who went from m4/3 to Sony NEX. m4/3 just wasn't enough, given that it wasn't that compact a camera. The NEX is a similar size, similar price, better low light, and has all of the same benefits - unless you want long range, in which case the m4/3 crop factor is pretty good.
NEX and Minolta glass :smiley: happy bunny.

I went the opposite, love the nex bodies but they don't have the right compact primes for me. The panasonic 20mm pancake lens + lower end olympus/Panasonic body makes a great pocketable combo for a casual day trip (for serious work I bring out the nikon).
