Thanks for the overview. Very helpful.

However, serious question: Is the Pen-F worth buying now that the OM-D EM-5 mk3 is out?

Hi, for me I was never going to buy the Omd em5iii, as it is very expensive and I have no use for the phase detection on the sensor

Plus I don’t like the mini dslr look at all and the creative dial on the pen f is perfect for me

Thanks for the answer. Not trying to be devil's-advocate here, but just wondering if you'd elaborate. The OMD EM-5iii is only $200 more. Is the creative dial on the Pen-F enough to warrant skipping out on better focusing and weather-sealing? Very curious, because I'm trying to decide which to get in the next few days. I love the look of the Pen-F, but am concerned with its "age." Plus, I can't find any silver ones anymore, and for me, the black is less attractive.
