Not terribly impressed with the PENs

You mean "Lites?"

I'm on my third PEN, each time I hope it gets better. The latest iteration is the E-PL6. It's not a hopeless camera but in the final package, it fails to impress, mainly due to Autofocus. This is in contrast to the OM-D cameras which I generally feel are very good in this regard. This is a shame because I do like the diminutive size and form fact of the PENS.

When you say PEN I think of the E-P series. I loved the E-P2 and E-P5 which I carry around with me all the time. What a great camera! I wish it weighed the same as the PEN "Lites" but oh well.

I have owned the E-PL3 and E-PL6 briefly as a trial and I never took to them, even though they took really good photos. I never noticed a big difference in autofocus though. I notice the better IBIS and two control wheels.
