Re: now for the objective solution

Hi all,

I am wondering whether there is an EP6 due out soon. I can't find one on Oly's uk site, though I am aware of the EPL6. Haven't had a chance to check it out but I believe that the L designation puts it below the EP range? In recent days I have become quite taken with the minimalist look and quality construction of the PENs. Am I right that the EP5 has most of the internals of the EM5? Obviously this is a good thing- the EM1 does not seem a huge leap. I feel that, much as the GH4 is wonderful, as it is exactly the same size and weight as my Nikon D5100 and I prefer a more rangefinder/discrete camera, I will not buy that model.

Feedback would be appreciated re PEN vs GX7.

I'm sure you can sense that both the gx7 and the ep5 are favorites for some of us.  I can assure you that both are wonderful cameras, capable of delivering outstanding images.  In fact, most of us gx7 and ep5 owners will never be as good as our cameras.  For an objective review, I suggest you read the thorough reviews that dpreview has prepared for these cameras.  Then, if possible, go to a camera store and see how each of them fits your hand. Finally, make a decision, with complete confidence that whichever choice you make will be a good one.
