Very difficult decision, Pen F vs E-M5.3

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?

I have the Pen F and live with its AF limitations. I LOVE its look and the creative control dial can be useful, BUT...

If I were making the decision today and not 3-1/2 years ago, the Pen F is out of the running. I've held and tested the OM-D E-M5.3 and it is a fantastic camera, truly a miniature OM-D E-M1.2 in many ways. There is no competition from the Pen F IMO unless you want to own both it and the E-M5.3. I hate to say that, but it's true.
