...Life is short. One has to strike a balance and sometimes, its just not worth waiting around for 'what if's. That might even mean buying an EM5 now, and then re-evaluating the situation if and when something else comes along.

A profound statement.

I seldom post these days but continue to lurk (almost daily). I still thoroughly enjoy using my antiquated E1 even though it is far from the cutting edge of today's benchmark, but waiting for something that may or may not come along soon seems akin to letting life pass you by. And that EM5 looks sweet to a former OM2 user...
