I pulled the trigger. I just ordered an Olympus EPM2. It is the bottom line Pen,

but it has the same sensor you would find on the OMD 5. It has very good low light response, and better dynamic range than my old camera.

I bought the body used, for only for $224. It lacks a lot of external controls, but I rarely use them because I shoot in Av, and am used to using the screen for adjusting aperture.

I find it hard to give up eye level viewing but for using the short lenses it really isn't necessary. Old habits die hard I suppose.

Look forward to seeing more of your spectacular imagery!

My old Oly EPL-1 is a classic, but a bit slow, and not that good for low light photography. The EPM2 might not have the external controls of the EPL-5 and above, but it has the IQ of the big boys. That's what matters.
