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

I had several early E-PL series and I never really trusted focus until I got the O-MD E-M5. I never had a PM model but I really appreciate the dials and buttons on the OM-D series. I can't imagine shooting much more than snapshots with a tiny body.

I had E-PM's (1, 2, maybe 3) back when they first came out, focus was never great. The focusing is much better on E-M1 and assume so for the very soon to be released E-M5 MkII.

Sorry, I have to strictly contradict, here. The PMs and PLs certainly had their weeknesses, but from PL3/PM1, their S-AF was just incredibly fast and precise.
