No, really. My E-P5 - as much as I love it - was released 5 years ago.

FIVE.

The PEN-F was not intended as a replacement, not to mention it's C-AF is rubbish and it's overpriced.

The E-PL7 doesn't have programmable dials, so it's not a viable option, as far as I'm concerned.

So I ask you - "Where's my E-P6?"

I can tell you where is *my* E-P6: in a drawer at development dept. waiting for availability of global shutter and hand-held hires mode.
Ok, maybe I am waiting for E-P7 and don't need your E-P6... not sure what you are missing in your E-P5. I don't use C-AF and burst mode, and don't use my camera for movies. I assume that having different needs I would have got a different model, but the E-P5 was (and still is) the right camera for me.

I largely want an integrated EVF, more megapixels, and a host of things that could probably be provided in a firmware upgrade but Oly isn't bothering.

I stilll enjoy shooting with my EP5, don't get me wrong, it's just that I feel like the PEN line is being neglected and if it were discontinued then I'd probably go elsewhere.
