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

Do you think m43 cameras are any more prone to failure than other formats? I used Nikon APS-C kit for years and had the occasional failure with that; eg the LCD screen died on my D7200. Cameras are complex electromechanical devices and can and do fail. I travel with two camera bodies on important trips as a precaution after that Nikon LCD failure led to me being unable to see my pictures. Touch wood I've had no failures with my Olympus kit, but I'm prepared for it to happen!

Cheers,

Chris
