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

Since dpreview says you live in the USA, another thought is rather than regular used body from places like KEH.COM is to get a reconditioned E-m5 mark II from the Olympus Outlet store.  That comes with a 90 day warranty, but you can buy an extended warranty within the 90 days, and it will cover two years after the regular 90 warranty goes out.

Note, with the USA Thanksgiving and Black Friday sales going on, Olympus has no refurbished cameras in the outlet.  But I imagine the outlet will be restocked next week.

Note, while the E-m5 mark II and the E-m1 share the same battery (BLN-1), they do not share the same clip-on flash (FL-LM2 vs. FL-LM3), but that is probably a minor deal.
