Siddiq, I sense that this is already starting to happen. The E-M1 bodies
are more plentiful on 'Bay and there are vendors in Asia splitting up new
kits and selling the bodies and lenses separately. I'm tempted at the
price, but I think I'll give it just a little more time. I am also looking
to pick up a good used OM-5DmkII as the prices are now occasionally under
$1K, finally. What a run that body has had for Canaan.
I'm glad you think that there will be replacement for the E-M1. I had
supposed the legacy support for E system users was a one-time venture. I'm
also glad to learn that Chuck likes the ergonomics of the E-M1, I think my
disposition in this regard might be similar to his.
