Why you should not feel guilty of spending 1200 on the Pen-F

Much smarter to spend $900 on the E-M5 Mark II

The single biggest problem with the Pen cameras has been the lack of a viewfinder which means you have to hold the camera out to compose and press the back to shoot and try to visualize the scene with the glare on the LCD back. The E-M5 MK II with the 14-42mm lens that sells as a bundle for $900 is a far better deal with a far better camera in every respect.

The electronic viewfinder provides high enough resolution to be effective and it amplifies the light and with a push of the shutter release you can see the scene as it will be taken and even boost the EV with a second push to see if that improves the exposure.
