Re: Shooting sports: PEN E-PM2 vs EM5ii/EM1

"Just" an E-M5 and your existing lenses would up your game, but whether that's just the next step in a journey or an end in itself depends a lot on your goals.

My little soccer player is now 13 and playing on a full-size pitch against girls three times faster than when she was a U8. My kit has had to evolve along with her competition level and the field dimensions. To be honest, I'd have a LOT less invested had she picked tennis or piano or something.

Another pathway: E-M1 and 4/3 50-200. During my E-system days I got the zoom as soon as I figured out the kit 40-150 wasn't cutting it and wow, what an improvement. The Mk1 can be had for less than half the 40-150 Pro. It and a refurb E-M1 could be had for...$12-1300?

Cheers,

Rick
