No

There are much better cameras at this price point. Older Olympus bodies have a terrible shutter shock issue that can not be fixed via firm ware. I would stay away from it.

On the other hand, PL7, EP5, EM10 are much better cameras with modern updates. And they can be had for only $100 more if you look for the right deals.

Here is an image with a budget EP5 & Panny 12-32
