This is a very good deal.
Zoom range 28-300mm 2 lens.Small package as you want that takes as good a picture as my camera.Chi

FROM HIM:

CHi,I'm sold on the Olympus e-PL series. Last time you emailed me the e-PL5 model. This one is a e-PL6 series.
The e-PL6 series is a bit cheaper and seems to have the same specs. I'm still trying to determine why the difference in price. Do you know? Does the PL6 has the ability to swap out lenses?

FROM ME:

EPL5 is the older generation, inferior to EPL6. EPL7 if the latest model and cost $399 just for the body. You get two lens covering 28-300mm with the EPL6 and there are many more lens available that you can use.This format is called Micro-Four Third and is supported by both Olympus and Panasonic. Meaning you can use Panasonic lenses too! Lens can go from $100 to $2500!Many PRO photographers are using this now for their main gear so don't be concern about any limitation.It's very good.

FROM HIM:

e-PL6 it is.

Thanks

Did he get the E-PL6 or E-PL7? Both are mentioned in your post. I seem to recall here on the forum talk about the E-PL7 having the 0-second anti-shock setting, but the E-PL6 doesn't and the E-PL6 really needs it a lot. Doesn't the E-PL6 also have the old, not so useful IBIS?  Might want to investigate about that.
