Extremely compact. Crisp touch-screen LCD. Integrated EVF. Snappy performer. 5.8fps continuous shooting. Clean images through ISO 6400. 1/16,000-second electronic shutter. Sharp, compact kit lens. Raw capture support. Wi-Fi. Excellent app control.

Omits built-in flash. No mic input. Pricey. No manual focus ring with kit lens. Underwhelming burst shooting in Raw. Limited (1/50-second) sync speed and 1/500-second mechanical shutter.

Slightly bigger than GM1 (but not by much); No built-in flash; Shallow buffers with RAW files; Dynamic range not quite as good as some competing models; Below average battery life.
