I'm going to sell my e-p5!
1

I've been using m43 since epm1 and always liked the system for its small cameras and lenses. currently i have the gm5, epm2 and ep-5 (thats just my m43 stuff)

My main gear is sony and fuji so find i dont often use the e-p5 as its heavier and less ergonomic than the sony and fuji.

OK fine but what is surprising me and i find a little frustrating is that the e-p5 is better in virtually every way than either the gm5 and the epm2, image wise and control wise yet i find myself using one of the smaller cameras more!!!!

I actually find myself using the gm5 and oly 45 1.8 a fair bit as nothing out there really that can match that combo for size and weight.

IBIS is great but to be fair if i need ultimate low light im not using m43 or i can just use a tripod? i will miss it (probably more for macro) but i figure if i miss it too much i might just get a em10mk2 or something 2nd hand.

m43 totally sux and rocks at the same time, give me a gmx ultimate mega special edition already!

Yes, I like to get these things off my chest.

Worry about the image that comes out of the box rather than the box itself
