E-M1: buy now or wait for new model?

What I wonder though is whether it will occupy the same position in the range, ie below the E-M1, or whether it will take the spot the original E-M5 held at the top of the range, in which case the E-M1 would do what the E-M5 did when the E-M1 came out and fall in price, becoming the mid-range model.

Nope. E-M1 will remain top dog.

For the mortal and common photographer, I can not think of any feature/gizmo/function that the E-M1 might be missing.

so buy now.

if I still had an EM5 I would wait to buy a new camera and use my money now for lenses or just save.
 
Thanks everyone for the input. Rightly or wrongly I've decided to get the E-M1, on the basis that it offers me features I value now (bigger/sharper EVF, PDAF, better high ISO performance, better IBIS, improved handling etc) and the deal was really good (£150 off a lens, meaning I got the 25mm 1.8 for barely more than £100, plus a free HLD-7, which I will sell).

Talking of which, if anyone in the UK wants a new, unused, unopened, Olympus UK-supplied HLD-7, please PM me as one will soon be available...
 
I have decided to wait.

That will be a fantastic combo! I wish they weathersealed the 25... I mean come on, how much money in gaskets could it really cost them ;)
