Re: Help: Another EM5 or EM1 Quandry

Nivivin --

Ummm . . . do you want the 25mm prime or the grip?  I would see what he'd charge for just a EM5 & the 12-40 f2.8.  Heck, if you are satisfied with your current primes, how about just the EM5 body (which goes for $600 USD in the US right now, vs $1300USD for an EM1 body).

But, honestly, the 12-40 f2.8 is probably all the lens you will need for quite a while in your use, and it is incredible (i have one).  But you may be a prime kinda guy.

The EM1 has a number of features over the older EM5 -- better finder, faster, better AF, etc -- and that is why it costs more, but the basic image quality is the same.  And the EM5 is still very very good.
