 What kind of repairs have your cameras needed? Did the shutter assembly fail (I take it the Pen series is rated to 50,000 actuations like my E-520?)

-Shutter failed EPM1 around 8000 exposures. Fixed.

-Compact XZ1 failed to extend lens. Fixed.

-Dials didn't work on EPL5 and later the LCD went blank. Fixed.

-Dials didn't work right on EM5. Useable, but a nuisance. Finally got fed up and had it fixed. When it came back, the flash hot show was bad. Replaced.
