Re: E-PL6 is super cheap on Amazon right now.

I am glad I found this thread. I have been an SLR user for decades. Switched to DSLR and have been a loyal Pentax guy with both film and digital. My wife wants to take more photos of family and vacations so I am looking at getting her an Olympus M4/3. Specifically, the EPL 5. This week be the first M4/3 I have ever bought but based on what I have read and seen, the EPL5 is a great start. What is the difference between the 5 and the 6? The silver 5 is fifty dollars more than the 6. Is it cheaper due to body construction? Features set a step back? Worse kit lens? I am struggling to understand that.

If the Olympus turns out to be what I have read about it, I can completely see me seeking my DSLR set up for an OM. Hauling around lenses in a backpack is becoming lame and time consuming.
