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

FIVE.

Yes, and it is still a pretty good camera. I still have mine, though I have relegated it to a backup body to my Pen F.

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

Agreed, the Pen F isn't a replacement for the E-P5, but it is a quite capable camera for what it is intended to beI use it mostly for street shooting and some landscapes and find it works perfectly for what I do. The stabilization is truly amazing, which is important to me due to my familial tremors. Single autofocus works well and I have used it even with some sport shooting, so C-AF isn't an interest to me. Neither is video, as I am a stills shooter.

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?"

Try the Pen F and see it it fits your needs. If not, the E-M5ii may be an alternative.
