Nobody knows, but the E-PL6 is a slightly better featured E-PL5 that was initially only sold in Japan. I guess they had too many so are dumping them in other countries now.

Despite what Oly USA may say, the in-body stabilisation is still the same old 2 axis type as in the E-PL5.

If you have the $$ the E-PL7 is more up to date, better stabilisation and 0 second anti-shock available. But if you really need a viewfinder then the E-M10 (Mark 1) would make more sense.

No WiFi in either camera, has the ability to use those awkward WiFi SD cards though.

WiFi came with the E-P5 and later bodies, even though the E-PL6 is dated the same as the E-P5 (May 2103).

My timeline may help a bit http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog/olyepl1/80-Oly-timeline.html
