The Olympus PEN E-PL6 and E-PL7 have been sold out for a while on the Olympus website, leaving Olympus without a budget MFT offering. Will they be restocked or are these models soon to be discontinued?

If you are in the US and patient, the E-PL7 is pretty regularly available on the reconditioned site. If I remember correctly, it is usually priced at $320 body only or $399 with the kit lens. If you are lucky you can find one during one of the sales that happen 4 or 5 times per year. A rarer gem is the E-P5 reconditioned. The last time that it was available it was priced at $240 body only. I got one on sale for $192. For a brief few minutes they had the E-P5 with 17mm and EVF for a very good price. I was too slow and missed out on the deal. I have since bought the EVF and want the 17mm.
