best mirrorless cameras

Overall the camera feels good in your hand, the mechanical parts (hinges and other controls) feel well made and pretty sturdy.

The GH3 gains a weather sealed (dust/splash proof) magnesium alloy body which now gives Panasonic a camera body to match their moisture- and dust-sealed Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm F2.8 ASPH OIS lens and Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm F2.8 ASPH OIS fast zooms.

I find the viewfinder to be remarkably good, better than optical viewfinders as I really see what I will get, and every time I look through it I am stunned at the fidelity.

The sensor-shift image stabilization system means that every lens you attach will have shake reduction.

I still have a soft spot for my Nikon, and greatly prefer the optical through-the-lens viewfinder to EVF or LCD, but objectively speaking, purely in terms of image quality per unit weight/size, there is no longer any real justification for DSLR.

The differences: the E-PL5 has a hardware mode dial, tilting display, and removable grip.

Fast processing and a capacitative touchscreen mean the interface immediately feels responsive.
