You want Olympus skin tones, stabilization in camera, Olympus lenses, makes Panasonic stabilized lenses, excellent jpegs...

E-PM2, E-PL5 E-pl6 are ruined due to shutter shock

E-PL7 is 3 ounces lighter than the PEN-F but:

-it has no quiet mode for speeches, church, baby not to wake,

-it has no sex appeal, it was a boring camera all of its life

-Pen-F has 5 axis instead of 3

-Pen-F has 20 megs

-Pen-F has newer technology, faster burst

-Pen-F has fancy PL3 flash with perfect bounce

-PL7 plus $ 250 VF-4 weigh .5 ounce less than PEN-F, in other words, same weight

-PL7 with VF-4 looks like the men from Mars are on top of your camera

-PEN-F has style and looks great

-PEN-F has 50 mb mode

those benefits take the $ 500 PL7 plus the 250 VF-4 at only $ 500 more for the PEN-F

10 benefits for $ 500 are $ 50 per benefit, a bargain

and the PEN-F is still jacket pocketable and party social sized, it has no hump on top like a big camera to pull out at a party

So don't feel guilty!

I'm happy to learn that finally you're in love with Olympus skin tones
