Given that you already have an E-M5II and EM-10II which were released in 2015, I wonder if you are really going to see much improvement in the E-M1 which was released in 2013.

Mostly the phase detection, I think.

The dynamic range of the E-M5II and EM-10II us actually slightly better than that of the E-M1.

I think your money would be better spent on the more reliable E-M1 II whichwas released in 2016 and has a better sensor than all of the above which brings a noticeable increase of dynamic range. The E-M II also bringse the high resolution mode and improvement in autofocus.

A solid suggestion. I didn't gel with the fully-articulated screen when I had the EM5 II. Great camera, but my fingers felt cramped and actually fatigue over excursions with lenses that weigh over 300g. The other less-pronounced reason is that the EM1 was as heft as I wanted to go. It's not as big as the EM1 II, which is a classic in its own right.
