Best backup for EM1 = EP5

Re: Best backup for EM1 = EP5

Hi,

I have an em1 and have used both GM1 and E-PM2 as backup bodies.  Have been disappointed.

In the heat of the moment, the different menu systems make then too hard to use.

Also the battery thing is big... having the same batteries mean only the one charger etc.  Much lighter for travel.

The EPM2 lacks the wifi and the tilt screen - which i need for low ground shots and remote triggering...

Am starting to agree with the OP here - EP5 seems to be the only way to go. Less confusion when it counts.

Cheers
Chumby
