New to this thread, almost too much information to read!
My main camera is a Nikon D800 which I'm very happy with. I own 7 f-mount lenses so am not looking to convert to M43 or Olympus for the majority of the shooting. However, I am very tempted to have a little walk about camera for when I am out and about. Okay, I could use my D800 and 24-70 f/2.8 but it's a little over the top to take when I just go out in London to see friends etc. I really like the look of the OM-D E-M10, from a physical stand point. I reminds me a lot of my Mother's old OM-1 which although I own, I have never used. I like that classic silver body with the pentaprism area which doesn't feature so much with other brands.
My question is, given a typical walk around every day camera, is the mk3 worth it over the mk2 and the mk1? I can pick up a used mk1 for dirt cheap, put a little f/1.8 prime on it and have the perfect camera. Does the mk2 improve on this significantly? I'm fairly sure the mk3 isn't for me as the raised price isn't worth it for what I wish to use it for.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
EM10ii is the bargain of the moment with the cashback offer.
I used to own a whole load of Nikon FF gear, I bought an EM10 as a 'travel camera' and then sold my Nikon gear 9 months later having not touched it at all...
