Re: Aussies - E-P5 again

Much love for a great camera, the magnificent E-P5! To me, it really embodies the strengths of the m43 system. It's small, stylish-looking, great IBIS, a lot of control and customization options! I like the tilt screen and detachable VF-4; I take a lot of pictures between chest and waist level. And as someone else pointed out, if you want a super discrete interchangeable lens package, just take off the view finder! With a 20mm f1.7 on there..forget about it!

One thing I wish they held over from the E-PL5 is the detachable hand grip. I modified my old one by adding a small chunk of walnut which improved the ease of carry. Since the grip was detachable, it made modifying it much less stressful!

Now, all the newer versions of the Oly bodies have flippy screens...that I DON'T like. I'm starting to see some color-deficient pixels on the sensor at high ISO, so I know a new camera body for me is on the horizon. Those flippy screens push me towards a gx85..
