Why get a new "improved" crippled camera? Why not get an old favourite?

Just noticed that in Oz I see the E-P5 offered again http://www.digidirect.com.au/cameras/cscmirrorless_cameras/olympus_pen_e-p5_body_-_black at Oz$499 for the body which is about US$402 and that includes our 10% tax.

If I didn't have two E-P5 already I think I would be buying one.

Greetings, Guy!

I am aware of you and other E-P5 owners through your posts and smile with recognition of others enjoying the E-P5 experience. I have the silver/black model with its retro look that reminds me of my SLR film cameras. I enjoy its size and features such as having the front and back control wheels with the two position switch that extends the control capability. The E-P5 has that special quality that makes me want to use it.

I admit my fascination with the latest Pen but more time and scrutiny is needed before I would consider it a camera that I would trust. Even if I end up with the Pen-F, I don't see any scenario where I don't have the E-P5 also. The Pen-F's fully articulating LCD would be useful in some circumstances such a video but for many circumstances like bending from a seated position to capture a photo, the tilt screen is so much easier.

Cheers!

Jim
