"OK" but much cheaper camera body and invest in a good lens or good body with kit?

get the EM10

... or the EM10 mkII if you can find a deal on it. I have the EM10 and I think it's a great camera.... it's my second m43 camera after a GH2 that I had (which was also excellent). The Sony has a bigger sensor, which is going to provide a little bit better image quality ultimately, but in real use probably not enough that you'd notice the difference. I like the design of Oly and Panasonic cameras much better and the lens section is much better as well. The EM10 has something known as in body stabilization which means that you can shoot with lower shutter speeds without shaking the camera and is very useful. The OM10 and the mkII version are some of the best values in cameras, I think... in that they have the best controls/most features of just about anything in that price range. I wound't bother with a camera that doesn't have a viewfinder and if you're willing to go used you can get the aforementioned cameras cheap enough to where it might not seem so worth it to go even cheaper and get on of the Pen model cameras that lacks the VF...

If you go used, you might even have some budget left to get another lens...
