One of my favorite cameras ever is a beat up Olympus OM-1n I picked up on Craigslist for next to nothing. It’s compact, nicely built, and the OM lenses are terrific. I love that camera.
When Olympus started the recent retro fad with the E-P1 I fell in love and bought one. The E-P1 was a nice camera (is a nice camera, I still have it) but lacked a viewfinder. I need a viewfinder. Also, the focus was quite slow. When the E-P3 finally came out things had improved quite a bit, so I bought one along with the very nice electronic viewfinder. I prefer optical viewfinders, but the EVF on the E-P3 is very good. What’s not so great is that it uses the hot shoe, and looks silly.
Enter the OM-D E-M5.
This one ticks almost all of the boxes. If the AF is as fast as they claim, I may just pick one up. I have a couple of really nice m4/3rd lenses already, plus the M-mount adapter for the Leica lenses.
I suppose this means the E-P1 and E-P3 are for sale.
