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

Some used m43 lenses are cheap - the Panasonic 14mm F2.5 lens weighs just 2oz and sells for $150-170 used.

The 55-250 telephoto is good (my only SLR is an old Rebel), if that's what you got...the ancient 75-300 is horrid though and I can't believe I still see it being sold in 2 lens kits. 70-300 lens is good but I highly doubt that's what you have.

Canon's 18MP sensor is actually pretty good at high ISOs. At lower ISO's, it's dynamic range is lower than some others.

I also have an older sigma 30mm F1.4 lens that's not very sharp by today's standards, but it's plenty good enough in the center (where the person/subject is) and at F1.4 the objects in the corners are out of focus anyhow.

Canon's 10-22 lens is excellent and not too heavy...the new STM version (10-18mm?) seems almost as good and cheaper.
