Re: E-PL6 vs E-P5

Thanks for all the replies from everyone so far. I was trying to keep things inexpensive, which is why I was going to go with the "good enough/great value" E-PL6 kit, but I just couldn't pass on the E-P5 for the price, (I'm guessing it's a preview of what we will see when it's blown out for the new model) but now it's seems I'm being steered away from the "good enough" kit lens as well.

I definitely appreciate the advice though, because on the one hand I did see not being forced to buy the kit lens as a plus (even though it inevitably means more $$$.)

I do think the 17mm 1.8 might be a better choice due to focus speed and the wider angle than the 25mm, but again, it's the priciest of the primes I listed.

In any case, I need to look in earnest for a lens. I got the email that the body has shipped and it would be a shame not to be able to use it.
