I'm really undecided now, but down to two options. I can't afford the PEN-F.
I could spend $350 or more repairing the EP-5 by the time I pay for two lots of postage. Or I could buy the EM-10 mkii new for $600. Either way, I get to keep my lenses.
If I repair, I get the camera back and it may break again. The dial may go as lots of others have happen. What do you think the success rate of the repair will be?
If I get the EM10, I get a marginally better camera and I could possibly sell the broken EP-5 body. I wonder what I would get for selling the body for spare parts? Surely the screen etc must be worth something in excellent condition?
Thanks
Well the cameras are very different in style and use. But I feel if you were happy with the E-P5 you should stick with it. However, why pay $350 to repair when you can buy a new E-P5 with a 2 year Australian warranty for $450 Australian? On e-bay right now.
but if you can really get a new E-P5 (with warranty) for only a $100AUD more from a reputable seller, than it's really a no brainer which of the options you should take. No way I would get it repaired in that circumstance.
And hurry. The listing said seven sold one remaining.

We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
