I have replaced my E-PM2 by an E-PL7:

  • 3-axis IBIS -> Much better stabilization than with the old 2-axis one
  • 0-sec Anti-shock -> No worries about shutter shock any more
  • In-camera CA correction, improves especially with Panasonic lenses
  • On-screen levels
  • Ergonomic improvements: Tilt screen, mode dial, control dial on top
  • Batteries are the same as in E-PM2

I use it mainly with Pana 12-32, but also with Oly 17 1.8, Sigma 60 2.8. I have also a VF-3 at and but not actually used yet.

JPG quality is the same great Oly one, plus the CA correction

Good summary and recommendation, Till. I've only had the Pen PL7, but find it to be a great small camera for all the reasons you outlined.

Today I went to audition the new Pen F, thinking I might replace the PL7. However after trying it out and placing The Pen F beside both the PL7 and the E-M5 II, I decided that the Pen F was too big and heavy compared to the PL7 and actually almost the same size as the E-M5 II. Kind of left me thinking that the F was too big to be a Pen and not enough features to be an OM-D.

I'd second the recommendation to the OP to consider the PL7. I use mine with the little Panny 12-32, and the Panny 35-100 (also pretty small)
