A good functioning is a killer camera. I used one for 4 years and only sold it to get a Gx85 because of the video. I've sold stock with the images and never had a problem. The EP5 with view finder for $300 is a good deal. I probably have 15 to 20K clicks on mine when I sold it and every things was still function - in great condition I'd say.

If it had been my only camera, I would have been happy - in fact I used it a lot more than the DX Nikons I had at the time. I now have two Gx8 and a Gx85, but still love the EP5 for a still camera. Video tip - don't use auto focus and shoot on a tripod with no IBIS to get the best video from an EP5.
