My dad has finally settled on the M43 system after looking about now he is not sure which one. have been looking at the Oly PEN E-P5 and Oly OM-D E-M10. I do have a Oly VF-3 he can have as TBH i have never really used it. I think he would like to have a Oly if the camera doesn't have a electronic viewfinder so he can use my VF-3 but if a Panasonic is better then i think he may give it up. reason why he likes Oly is he has a Olympus E-420. He likes landscape photography,nature, the odd portrait and general. so guys if you had £700 to spend on a body which one?

If he is not doing video, the Panasonic Lumix G6 is a great choice. If he is doing videos the Lumix Gh3 is a better choice. If you read the online reviews of the G6 you will find mountains of praise. A few months ago I was deciding between Olympus and Panasonic Lumix. The G6 reviews and its amazing price point convinced me to buy it. Today I am thrilled that I did.
