Actually, I expect >$1500 for the E-M1 Mk2. The market is shrinking and the
response of the big brands seems to be more expensive camera's. Sony
leading the pack with the A7R II and Canon's new 5D Mk 4 is quite expensive
too. I fear Olympus is not immune to the loudly lunatics who wants bigger
camera's without the option to go smaller as well. We'll see.

For me, I acquired a nice 43 lens (quite a Fang ;-) and decided I didn't
like the focussing on the E-M5. So I got a little used E-M1 for ~$500 and
I'm happy ;-). It is smaller then I thought, feeling not really much bigger
then an E-M5 with the HLD-6 grip part. Not that it is that relevant with 43
lenses...
