It's a nice camera; I would say that I wish it had a flip screen (I find myself wishing for that from time to time), but you compensate for that somewhat by flipping the finder on the vf-2 into an up position allowing you to focus by looking down into the finder, like an old twin reflex viewfinder. I would really recommend getting the vf-2; it adds a lot to the camera and of course when you don't want to use it you just detach and place in a shirt pocket (light and small). Overall, the E-PM2 is sturdy, lightweight and takes good photographs--at a very reasonable price.

Sorry for the late reply.

It seems that traveler_101 really understood what I was looking for 3 weeks ago: an affordable little camera that has an EVF that can be removed to make it even smaller.

It also seems that the rest of you knew what I really was looking, even better than I did. After a couple of weeks of thinking, I think I'll buy a second hand E-M5. It will be affordable enough, have a tilt screen, EVF and it's not that big. Plus the weather sealing. Now that I think of it, it's a good extra. I just need a weather sealed lens too.

Thanks everybody!
