H, sorry for bumping this thread, but I just found out that some of Olympus' "Pen" models have been discontinued. How does that change Olympus' roadmap?

I see that the E-PM2 kit with the 14-42 lens is selling for around $300 in some places, this is a pretty good price. Do you think I should be concerned to buy a discontinued model?

In any case, when you jump onto the M43 ship, make sure you buy the later models for Olympus. It is because they use a newer sensor and AF technology than previous models. All OMDs are recommended. For the Pen series, please buy E-P5, EPL5/6, or the EPM2.
