Not quite satisfied with E-PM2

Re: Not quite satisfied with E-PM2

"Bonding" with any particular camera is important, desirable, highly personal and often difficult.  Not everyone can easily handle a small camera like the E-PM2, just as not everyone can comfortably handle a large DSLR.

I bought my E-PM2 about 6 months ago.  I was very impressed with its image quality.  It's an extremely powerful camera in a very small package.

Three months later I purchased an E-P5 for its superior build and added features.  I've not shot with my E-PM2 since.  I "bonded" with my E-P5 in a way that's simply not possible with the E-PM2.  The E-PM2 now serves as my backup camera when I travel or as a second camera with long focal length lens attached.  The IQ from both of these cameras is nearly identical if not ACTUALLY identical.

I would suggest you visit your local Olympus retailer and handle the E-5.  It might be the camera you had hoped your E-PM2 would be.
