Verdict
Pick the Olympus OM-D E-M1X if you need higher resolution, faster burst shooting, 4K video, or in-body stabilization—its newer tech justifies the same price. The Panasonic Lumix GM5 stays the better choice if you prioritize a smaller, lighter body and can work within 16MP and 1080p limits, though its age and lack of stabilization narrow its appeal at this price.
