Re: It's time to replace the carry around camera

Cheers!  Can't make my mind up now between GX7 (perfect but possibly too big for pocket) and E-PL5 (supposed shutter shock and trouble with Panny UWA).
Arrrghhh.
I hate it when that happens.

I use the EPL5 and carry a MATIN lcd viewer if the sun is bright. Very cheap but good enough to compose the image if a little bulky. I have not found shutter shake problems but I hate the camera's press down on/off button with its titchy blue light. This is backup for my OMD5 and I can use all my lenses. The Panasonic 14mm 2.5 is very good. I do carry it in a small waist pouch on my bike as it's not really a good pocket carry but it's as small as I can get for adequate IQ, convenience and price.

With price paramount there's no ideal solution for me but the EPL5 does the job and I use it a lot. Make sure you have an appropriate up to date version of Photoshop for the EPL5 RAWs.

Best of luck in your search.

Cheers, Peter N.
