For the longest time, I've been using an EM5 mki and using an EPM2 as a second body. I've recently decided to make the ergonomical upgrade to EM10 mkii, so I'm deciding which camera to keep as backup.

EM5:

- weather sealing in case I ever need it

EPM2:

- same battery as EM10 and slim profile

Thoughts?

if you have any weather sealed lenses and shoot ever in the wet..well the EM5. If you want a easy to pocket great image quality unit..the EPM2.
Frankly, you';d be lucky to get $100 for the EPM2, so if you are looking to recoup some cash, sell the EM5. Or just keep both and use as appropriate. The EM10 ii is pretty small as well..so the portability of the EPM2 may not mean as much to you, but again, what ya really gonna get for it?
