So, my OM-D E-M5 arrived yesterday and I've not even opened the box.
Currently have a GX1, have also owned many DSLRs and M43 bodies over the years. Thought I needed to upgrade but not even sure I can be bothered anymore!
There is a continual debate in my head about DSLR vs M43 (as I'm sure there is in a lot of peoples)
There is also a debate about whether the GX1 does everything I need and is a perfect small package with my prime lenses
There is another debate about going all out and buying an E-M1 and 12-40
But that starts questions about spending a large sum and can spend the same money on a DSLR instead
Struggling with whether I even enjoy taking photos anymore and can an iPhone suffice
Then I come back to the E-M5 being the best all-rounder M43 (having owned 2 previously)
Then a GM1 jumps into my head as it would be even smaller than the GX1
And when I'm not looking a Sony RX100M3 pops up (I had a M1 before)
In amongst all of that I haven't taken many pictures recently and the ones I have taken were with my 5D2 borrowed from work!
Argh. Might return to amazon and think a bit longer !
