New camera advice needed

Right people, anyone who knows about photography, I’m looking for some advice.

I’m looking to get a new camera before my travels, one that’s an interchangeable lens camera (a mini-SLR), and I think I’ve narrowed it down to two contenders.

Basically, the Sony NEX-5N and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 have both got great reviews. The Sony is about half a year older, is more affordable, and has a slightly larger sensor (23.4mm x 15.6mm) than the Panasonic (17.3mm x 13mm).

Apparently both take great pictures, even in low light conditions, so I’d like anyone’s views on whether you’ve used either camera, or if you have a view on whether the sensor, lenses, processor etc would make one better than the other?

Let me know in the comments section below.
