What kind of stuff do you like to shoot? I just realized, I'm traveling through the San Luis Valley tonite on the way to NM.
Thank Gordon, that's a good sum up from some one who used them.
I'm really between the XE1 and the EM5.
For me, positive of EM5:
+ IBIS
+ Weather sealing
+ Wide variety of lens
For me, positive of XE1:
+ low noise
+ sharpness
+ kit lens
+ love the control on it (can do the same with any other camera anyway)
If the XE1 had IBIS on it, I would go that route without even thinking twice. I'm planning to use some older Pentax K lens I have with an adapter, I will do that no matter if XE1 or EM5 (could be EPL5 as well).
Just make sure that adapter also gives focus confirm in some way. I bought an adapter so I could use my K55 f/1.8 with my V1... but no focus confirm and my dodgy eyes means I wasted my time. It works, but you need 20/20 vision.
