Mike,

If you haven't already take the time to read the DPR review on the E-M10 Mark ll. In my opinion unless you have a need for a Panasonic body because it has 4k video the Oly is the way to go.

Also if you aren't in a rush the E-M10 Mark lll is supposed to be released this year and that will help to drive down prices on the Mark ll.

wow that's great news! I have been reading all or most available reviews on the OMDs including youtube videos and samples. I was going to relay the same concern with the OMD; my hesitation being it's a pretty big (er) investment for a system that has no direct repair where I live. I figure at least if I spend for something a little less, It won't hurt as much (to have repaired)

but huh. interesting. Any news on when the release will be? thanks for the heads up!

Read this article, sometime this year.

Also if you have any friends of family that live in the US you could consider having them buy the E-M10 Mark ll here, register the camera with Olympus USA and ship it to you.
