Re: PL6
To the OP:

How much can you spend on a second camera? Olympus makes great cameras, and while secret world is right about the 0 sec shock feature, I used an E-PM2 for two years which lacked this feature and suffered very few instances of shutter shock. The E-PL6 with the tiltable screen is a nice camera which I think you will enjoy. Of course, if you have more money follow secretworld's advice and get a E-PL7 with the better stabilisation feature; it's a more updated camera.

In terms of lenses, nothing wrong with the standard Olympus 14-42 lens. I certainly think if you were going to buy your camera body only, I would consider a Panasonic 12-32, certainly that would be more appropriate fit to your camera then the 12-40 Olympus zoom suggested in an earlier post. That lens is too big and heavy for an E-PL.

Don't know your finances - but look at this deal: the E-PL6 and the standard kit 14-42 for $299. $299 and you're good to go with m43. Check it out - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=E-PL6&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=

Nice! Thanks for the link for the EPL-6, yes this is the price point what I had in my mind the $300 mark. I also own a Pentax K5II so the budget is only for something that can be easily carried.
