Pros

Return to GF1 design is more appealing.
Larger grip is better for medium-size hands.
Built-in pop-up flash.
Flash hot shoe.
Video record button on the top deck for more natural access.
GX1 uses wide metal lugs for straps.
Which are quieter for video.
Compact size.
Fast continuous shooting.
Easy to handle.
Good image quality up until ISO 6400.
Compact but solid build with lots of manual controls.
Comparable quality to DSLR.

Cons

Would be nice to have two dials, one for aperture, one for shutter.
Rear buttons might be small for some users.
LCD doesn't tilt.
Blur issue with X lens at telephoto and certain shutter speeds.
Mediocre macro performance.
Below average hue accuracy.
Fixed rear LCD.
Expensive.
Manual focus not much fun.
Touchscreen seems slightly vestigial.
Thumb dial could be a lot meatier.
No 1080p AVCHD.
No mic input.
Easy to accidentally set a manual AF area with touch-screen.
JPEG images are soft.
