Re: Buying used EM-5 II vs EM-1

Hello

Great trip you have planned.....

Like most said the EM5 MKII and the EM1 MKI are much the same, EM5 MKII has video, 40MP option image which is great. It has 2 add on grip options, one with shutter button and other without, I found the 2nd great to add just that little extra real estate to the body. Never buy the silver body....silver goes off and really bad for reselling...

Another awesome option is the 20MP Panny GX8. They sell over in the EU new at low prices and 2nd hand at a steal. These are wonderful bodies, huge EVF, IBIS, 4K with great video plus plus.

What is cost of 100-400m rent plus EM5 MKII? Would that buyout a 2nd hand EM1 MKII? They awesome and does not have the problems the MKI had....

Best

Siegfried
