Re: Need help deciding which camera to buy!

Dollar for dollar, I think you would have the most fun with the E-PM2 kit and add-in 17mm lens.

I had a NEX7 with the 16-50 and 55-200 lenses you mentioned. It was a very classy looking outfit, but it was mildly disappointing. Sure, I could mount my Pentax manual lenses to it and get better shots, but that sort of defeated the small and light criteria I was interested in. I believe the Sonys display less noise in low light but, let's face it, any modern camera is no slouch when it comes to higher ISO shooting.

All in all, and I've owned several Sony mirrorless cameras, I prefer m4/3.
