Subject: Re: [OM] E-PL1 infor needed
Actually, Chuck's advise *will* save you money:
You buy a e-pl1 ($150). You 'need' an electronic viewfinder otherwise you
can't use it in the sun...(+$200=$350). Your wife likes it and wants one
too, you buy an e-pl2 with finder for her because she likes a red one
(+$450=$800). You both buy 32Gb SD cards 'so that you have enough space for
movies' (+$50=$850). You discover that the newer 14-42mm mk II as sold with
the e-pl2 increases focussing speed on your e-pl1considerably (+$150=$1000),
or she wants an all in one solution and you buy the 14-150mm and take the
14-42mm mk II yourself (+$400=$1250). They share the battery with your e-620
but you'll need several more because those screens need much juice, so you
buy four aftermarket batteries extra (+$50=$1300). You get tired of the
button only interface of the e-pl1 and want faster focussing speed, so you
decide on an used e-p(l)3 (since at any stage you'll find the e-m5 to
expensive to ad ;-) (+$400 = $ 1700). So, without too much stretching (we
haven't covered any additional lenses here, you or your wife won't touch the
4/3 lenses anymore after getting used to the portability of micro 4/3 ;-),
you spend *much* more then immidiately buying an e-m5. And in the end you
*will* buy the e-m5, when it comes down to $500, ending with around $2200...
So, a better scenario would be: you buy an e-m5 with 12-50mm, $1399. It will
be about as big and heavy as your wifes e-620 with 14-42mm, and uses
different batteries. She will never crave something smaller. You buy two
additional aftermarket batteries and you're set. And you will have this
better camera all the time that the above scenario costs to unfold...
Now, you think I have a rich fantasy. I have not: <

Best, Frank.
