Size and styling

In reply to mpgxsvcd, 4 months ago

The GH3 is too big and bulky. I might as well just carry my D800 around. The EM-5 is not too big and not too small. When I first opened the box for the EM-5, I was shocked at how small it was without a lens. I also like the retro styling of the silver model. Several people have asked me if I was using a film camera.
