Glad you like it

I actually use it more than my EP5 these days for 1) it's smaller , 2) I tend to use the latest acquisition and neglect the older one

I can still share the brilliant VF4 on both

On my next trip to Alaska, the EPL7 will accompany my EM5II

Will sport primes on it, and the zooms will go on the EM5II

Amidst all the available MFT bodies, the EPL7 tends to be overlooked but it's a d... nice and good looking camera to own, especially at today's price

Cheers,

Previously, I could take either the E-M1 or Panasonic LX7 when we went places.  So, if the possibility of good photographic opportunities was there, I'd take the E-M1.  The LX7 was used only when I really wanted to go small and light, deliberately trading better IQ for portability and compactness.

Now that I have the E-PL7, I will have the option of going smaller and lighter, but with equivalent IQ of the "big" camera.  I'll still favor the E-M1 for "serious" shooting, but the PEN will get used a lot as well (e.g., museums with the fast prime, car shows with the 9-18 wide angle, etc.).
