Re: Help: Another EM5 or EM1 Quandry

Nivivin --

Here is another way to think of it: with the EM1 you've always got a maximum kit with a grip and very nice EVF . . . but there is no way to make it smaller.

With the EM5 (or, come to it, EM10 even more so) it is multiple personalities:  put that 12-40 f2.8 chunk of glass on it and the grip and you have a functional equiv of the EM1 in handling terms (that is really true if you add the VF4).  BUT, strip it down to just the body, add a pancake or collapseable lens and it is almost a (large) pocketable digicam.  You will never mistake an EM1 for one.

It is the same IQ either way. Yah pays yer money and takes yer choice.
