Not sure why there is a post asking for opinions on these 2 cameras, and in about 3 hours you already ordered one. Seems like you already wanted to order it and just wanted 2 people to bless the purchase or something.

Not saying you made the right or the wrong choice. You will decide. Might be a positive or a negative experience and decision.

The Pen-F is a GREAT camera if used in its limits. It is VERY customizable and CAN do a lot IN CAMERA. Again, all that is a wonderful feature if that is what you want to do. Keep in mind that you could shoot images on it in RAW and then convert that RAW to ANY of the myriad of artful options, IN THE CAMERA.

It is very stylish and feels great in my hand anyway. Toss on the 12mm f/2.0, the 17mm f/1.8, the 25mm f/1.8, 45 f/1.8, or 75mm f/1.8 and the thing can sing and be a great tool. You could put a Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 on there and love it. It has so MANY options with primes and some zooms too that is a very good purchase, no matter any negative reviews about its ability, or lack of, doing C-AF or shooting birds or fast moving kids.

In the end, I think you ordered way too quick, and ordered the wrong one, but that is my opinion. Your opinion may be different, but I'll have to swap to know.
