I can get a EP-1 for £100 and EP-2 (or GF2) for £159 (bodies only). I already have a NEX5 but want another body and like the look of EP1/2 with built in IS. Is there massive difference between the two? Do you recommend GF2 or EP2? From what I read there is not a big difference between EP1 and 2.
Any views? |

ep2 only for the external vf, which to me personally was absolutely essential to accurate focusing. if you specifically do not want the evf then there is no difference between the two cameras.

Thanks for the advice. I may not buy the evf straight away but would like the possibility if I want to add one. So I guess I will go for ep-2 if it is still there.
The other question is now whether to keep my EOS 350D which is not getting much use after NEX! |

If you do like shooting videos, consider the GF2. Its firmware has been recently hacked, providing lots of features GH2 alike.

I would say E-P2 because of built-in IS and EVF-2. It's a great combo for MF.
About 350D, in my opinion it's no use if you keep the NEX.
Next step : full frame !
