Verdict
Pick the Olympus OM-D E-M1 if you prioritize faster burst shooting (10 fps vs. 5 fps) and a slightly lower price (264 EUR vs. 284 EUR). The Panasonic Lumix GX7 stays the better choice if smoother video (1080p 60 vs. 30) is more important to you, despite its slower burst rate and marginally higher cost. Both offer similar resolution and in-body stabilization.
