Hey, I've joined several reddit / Facebook groups as well as this forum to research mirrorless cameras with my budget.
I'm now torn between 2, the Canon m100 + kit lena for £308 (with a BLC discount) or the Panasonic gx80 for £380 with kit lens.
I've been into curry's today to hold m100 and it felt really nice in the hand, was able to grip it well, liked the rubber covering.
There was no gx80 to hold.
I tried the other mirrorless and due to lens positioning I felt I couldn't hold them properly with my left hand. The m100 has some space left of the lens where the button is, where as the others did not.
I really like the case and the rubber wrap around it has, but I'm not a fan of the leather look of the gx80. Of course that doesn't actually affect any of the features though.
£380 is more than I wanted to spend, but many have said the evf on the gx80 is worth it.
As I'm a total beginner, I'm not really sure how these 2 compare, or If I'll like the feel of the gx80, or the evf will be a big difference to me.
I'm looking to pick one of these 2 up tomorrow. Please help me make a decision so I can get going.
Thanks
