Due to arthritis I was finding the D90 more difficult to use, so it was not getting used to its full potential. BTW try before you buy, I was considering the Olympus PEN range, but when I tried them, found them much to small for my hands.
I use WiFi a lot on my EM5ii when I'm away from a PC or away from home. On holidays it's priceless! Send or upload a picture right away. At home not so much.
That does look like a good deal for the Mk2. I Paid £399 for a MK1 with the EZ 14-42 (its hard to tell from the Jessops picture which lens that is) and then £40 for a 40-150 from here (which is a great lens)
Wifi is not exclusive to mirrorless cameras of course. But over the last few years mirrorless camera makers (Sony, Pana, Oly, Fuji) have been falling over themselves to deliver as many useful functions and improvements as they can fit in. Including firmware upgrades to previous cameras, that add new features, and enhanced performance.
The Olympus 25mm f1.8 is £319, there's also the Panasonic 25mm f1.8 which is £160.

But you might prefer the 30mm macro.
yeah I'm in the UK, doncaster.
Sorry I've lost track of what you're looking at
The GX80 is a RF style Micro Four Thirds Camera. It was introduced recently so it's quite a current model. These don't have the classic camera styling of the Fuji's and instead if anything they're rather minimalist which actually appeals to me.
I have the very similar but a generation older GX7 and it's a very responsive camera and with a compact prime it's winter / larger coat pocketable. This new GX80 will be likewise.
In fact mine is in the classifieds if you're interested in a bargain
The kit lens was fine but I soon realised I wanted different things from my lenses, hence buying two that are totally different.
Apologies for just getting back to you. I'd definitely recommend a trip to Jessops if you've not been already! I'm based in Aberdeen and one guy in our shop was ridiculously helpful, I still go in there for advice from him as I know I can trust that he's going to give me an honest answer. Obviously I can't speak for every Jessops store but this guy was completely unbiased, and grilled me on what sort of photos I wanted to take, which cameras I was interested in and why etc, basically making sure I'd done my research and knew why I wanted the camera I was looking at. He was then able to offer alternatives for me to consider, as well as general advice. He's since helped me with additional lenses and when I wanted an ND filter that Jessops don't actually stock, he wrote down all the details for me to find it elsewhere. So from my experience, Jessops is a great place to discuss what you want from your camera and get a lot of useful advice that isn't going to be all about pressuring you to buy the most expensive kit in there!
As for the deal you posted for the camera body and two lenses, I'd personally just buy the body, as I got rid of my kit lens pretty quickly. If I had had the knowledge that I do now at the time of buying, I might have even looked at buying a second hand body, and then bought my two lenses new, just to save a bit of money (or have more for a third lens
Ah thank you, something else for me to take a look into too.
The best is almost certainly never the cheapest I'm afraid. Fairly sure the M43 / Olympus offerings are the cheapest or one of the cheapest in terms of value for money.Looking into lenses, what brand would be the best/cheapest to move to....
I used a 35mm on my D90 last time and 18-85mm
Thank you all
To a certain extent. You seek to be looking into everything you need to but I'd say put as much into what the feel of a camera gives you. All results should be pretty good from any modern mirrorless camera, but the feel of one in hand may be drastically different from another.
