Re: Grief with Olympus OM-D E-M5

My OM-DE-M5 stopped working a few years ago.  At the time I noticed there were very few for sale, including on the Olympus refurbished website.   Which was kind of odd for what had been such a popular camera.   The guess I arrived at was that there was a problem part in the camera that consistently fails after a certain number of years and makes them uneconomical to repair.

When I have seen them come up for sale, even though I would like one due to its very compact size, And an exceptionally good fit in my hand when using the optional hand grip, I have resisted buying one because I figure it would only work for a little while before breaking.
