My advice is to buy a used or refurb E-M10 unless you are determined to stick with the pen style of body. I bought the EPL-6 at blow out price as a second body to my E-M10 and returned it. The ergonomics were terrible, it only has one control wheel, lacks the 3 axis IBIS, has lower resolution LCD and does not have the zero second anti-shock setting. The E-M10 is just a better and more advanced camera. Prices are cheap now that the model II has come out.

i concur on em10.

I found a refurb em10 with kit lens for my sister from the OlyUSA web site last month for $340 delivered to her door.

i tried the pl6 last summer as a second body and, for the reasons you cite, i sent it back and spent $100 more for the pl7. i am glad i did every time i pick up the pl7 (which now wears the panny 12-32 as its lens; a perfect pairing).

I agree, the Panny 12-32 on the PL7 is pretty much perfect, IMO. I've also added the diminutive  35-100 F/4 to the mix and it has become my go to combination for the street, festivals, and family gatherings.
