I've owned a few Micro Four Thirds cameras over the years. One of my favorites was the E-M1 (original).

Is the E-M10 Mark III better than the original E-M1 in terms of focusing speed, EVF performance, controls, touch screen, etc.?

Is the E-M10 Mark III that much of an improvement over the E-P5?

Thoughts? It's tempting nowadays with the rebate - hence my interest.

I have the EP-5, the E-M10, the E-M1 and E-M1 Mark II.  The first two do not get as much use as the later, so buying another camera does not make a lot of sense at this time.  The E-M1 is a very solid camera, and I have no issues with the EVF and most of the time with the focusing speed.  It out performs the E-M10.  The smaller cameras work just fine when I go for the almost pocket sized outing.  Try the E-M10 Mark II, a good number of people have spoken highly of that camera body.
