-PEN-F has style and looks great

Those who think the Pen F has style and looks great are those who also think that a Jaguar E type with 24" rims and a body kit looks great and stylish.

The only guilt you should feel about is being conned into the hype and marketing.
It offers no significant improvement over the EM5 II, yet here in Oz it costs several hundred dollars more than the EM5 II, thats what you need to feel guilty about!
Here's the kicker, it's the most expensive oly, yet it doesn't have PDAF, weather sealing, not as ergonomic, has a swing out lcd, no improvement in ISO.
I can't for the world of me figure out why it's the most expensive oly (actually it's the most expensive m4/3 camera), the only theory that comes to mind is that oly is going for form over function with the PEN F, but they haven't been able to pull it off.

You seem to have a very high opinion of your opinion, I don't share your opinion
