neither. wait for the E-PL7. check out the leaked manual:

Bulkier camera, would not work for me at all. My little bag fits two E-PL5 with lenses, no way it could fit the bigger E-PL7.

as someone else mentioned, both the epm2 and epl5 have 16:9 screens -- one of the most bone-headed design decisions possible. makes for a very small viewing area if you're using a proper aspect ratio like 4:3 or 3:2 or 1:1.

16:9 screen is fine, just shoot RAW+jpeg and the 16:9 jpeg shows you good detail on the LCD, then retrieve whatever you want from the RAW, usually 16:9 anyway as that is the shape of all TV and monitor screens now.Regards... Guy
