Best replacement camera

First of all, very sorry about the E-P5. It’s a great camera, underrated.

I wrote a bunch of blog posts comparing the E-P5 to the Pen-F, you might find them helpful: https://jacksonbart.com/2017/08/28/pen-f-review-part-1-aesthetics-and-first-impressions/

The bottom line is that I love the built-in viewfinder, and there are other quality of life features like C1 to C4 settings on the mode dial, and being able to have shadow-highlight blinkies and the level in the viewfinder at the same time, but honestly, with respect to image quality, I can’t tell the difference. I also can’t tell that autofocus or IBIS is any better (or worse) on the Pen-F.

If I had to buy a new Olympus and couldn’t afford the Pen-F, then I’d buy the E-M10 Mark II. It’s on sale now for a pretty good price since the Mark III came out.

Whatever you do, don’t buy the Mark III, it has been dumbed down.
