Re: focus peaking and wifi

The two biggest advantages of the E-M10 in my opinion:

- The E-M5 has no focus peaking AFAIK. Very nice to have if you're focussing manually.

- The E-M5 has no wifi. I don't use this daily but it's been quite useful sometimes.

Indeed!  Told you I'd miss something...   Good catches.

Other late thoughts:

The E-M5 has a separate card slot on the side; the E-M10 II has its card slot in the battery compartment on the bottom.

The latest models (i.e. the Mark IIs) won't let you do that odd display mode where you have a blank, black rear screen, still illuminated, just displaying the level gauges.  I believe a few people do use/like that.

If you're so inclined, the Mark II cameras have the separate, battery-life-extending (but possibly irritating or almost heart attack-inducing for the unwary, like I was on first experiencing it) Quick Sleep mode, which shuts the camera down abruptly if you're not looking through the EVF for long.  Can be disabled, of course.
