I recently purchased a Panasonic G85 for my wife and have decided to now get my self something. Budget is tight because I have spent about $1700 in the last couple of months on equipement .
I am looking used and small so the 2 cameras mentioned above seem to fit the bill. The GM5 seems to be a well liked camera but have not found it used yet. The E-PL6 is only $160 with 14-42 kit lens refurbished at Olympus but out of stock at the moment. These seem like they would be real pocket cameras with the Panasonic 20mm lens I picked up.
Any other camera fit the bill?
Thanks Ivan
Not exactly in the same league, as far as I am concerned, but still a very good camera (not much of a difference, except in manual controls between it and the EPL7/8), readily available, and at 1/3 of the price of the GM5 the EPL6 seems a no-brainer.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
