E-PL5 vs E-PM2.. the tilting screen. Is it that important? I don't want to buy already then bang balls later...

Gonna use the camera for travel mostly...

I am using epl5. To me its important for shooting low at ground level or even waist level.
If u need to take a self photo then a flip screen is a must.

Epm2 has less buttons than epl5 also.

Very happy with the camera but white balance can be quite crazy at times.
Skin tones reproduction can be a bit off due to that i think.

Other than that very happy with my epl5!!!

Any issues for you handling the camera? My hands are big, when I hold it with my right hand, thumb rubbing the screen's protruding edge. Of course I believe with a neck strap I'll feel more secure if it ever slips out...

i am 6' tall and i have no issues handling the camera.
i wish the screen could be bigger but then it will kill the battery faster.

oh yeah battery can only last around 300 shots. buy extra.

Not too sure if u m43 guys have read of this new adaptor,

Metabones Speed Booster, it will u use FF and APSC lens from canon and nikon, on m43 bodies.

The special thing is it will make the lens wide and brighter and sharper?!
Like a 50mm 1.8 with speed booster becomes 35mm 1.2!

read all about it...
