I'm getting my 12 year-old daughter her first ILC and need a little input. Of the above cameras, I'm leaning toward the EM10 because of the combination or size, features, and the presence of a EVF. Plus it just *looks* like a camera should. If she's anything like me, she'll appreciate the beauty of the camera maybe use and respect it a little more than she otherwise might. I'd like for her to learn to hold the camera up to her face properly and learn proper technique. There's something to that, isn't there? Still, the PEN cameras are pretty good deals. I can get an EPL6 for $300! A little background: I have an EM1 and numerous lenses so we could share as necessary. I would probably get her a 12-42 kit lens for her to start. Should I go for the EM10, or should I just go cheap and see how she likes photography? Another option would be to go with the EP5 and get an EVF, although that's a little pricier option. I haven't considered panasonic cameras, mainly because I just familiar with Olympus. I know a G7 would be a great option. I do like the philosophy of the 5 axis IS, though. Thanks in advance for your help!

LOL. She probably thinks a camera should look like a phone!

We're Noct messing around with this review.
