Re: Is the E-PL6 the best camera deal at the moment?

Before I pull the trigger later on this week or so, just wanted to ask. Those of you who have this or the PL5; how would you say it does at high iso? I'm not entirely sure if I trust static studio comparisons versus daily shooting, so I wanted to ask from you guys who have experience.

I had to ditch my Panasonic G5 because it didn't fair well in low light, not even close to the GX7 which did great at keeping noise down but that had its own quirks. I keep reading mixed views on the PL5, with some saying it's only usable up to 800 iso and others up to 1600.

The first cam I had actually considered this week was the Rebel SL1 due to its smaller SLR size and cheap used price but the quality from some pics shows it being inferior to the Em10 sensor. Canon does make some pancake lenses now too but they're f2.8 compared to Oly/Panny's f1 primes. Much cheaper though, quite tempting.

I might actually hold onto the kit lens if I grab this PL6 after the few replies, thanks.
