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.

Agree, except that Olympus is out of stock and I'm not sure if they will get restock. I can get it for $320 with the 14-42 and 40-150 but I already have the 40-150.
