Re: Buy now a 760D or wait for the upcoming model?

It's hard to decide.  The Olympus OMD-M5 mkII (MkII = 2nd version in other words) has the cool 40MP mode which would be a lot of fun, but it's a heavy and expensive camera (which defeats the purpose of m43 in my opinion - to be smaller and lighter).

Olympus more recently came out with the M10 mkII for less money, and it weighs less, but it lacks the 40MP mode.  It also tends to come with the smaller "EZ" lens, which is smaller, but costs more but is not as sharp as the normal Olympus kit lens.

For just $320, Olympus has the PL6 body and two decent lenses (refurbished).

Hopefully Olympus will replace the PL7 "PEN" model soon.  The "PL" models are moderately smaller versions of their large bodies.

Panasonic GF7 is a nice (smallish) size, and the 12-32 kit lens is pretty good and very small.

Panasonic has better video than Olympus, and Canon.

Olympus has good in-body stabilization versus Panasonic uses lens stabilization.
