Ah interesting, I've landed on the E-PL8 for my m43 camera. Any reason you chose the E-PL7? Do you use a viewfinder?In December I sold off my “larger kit” which was a G9, PL12-60 and a PL25/1.4 to boot. After rebuying an EPL7 in the fall, I decided that it’s compactness that I really want. My main workhorse right now is the EPL7 with the Oly 25/1.8.
Mostly because it was $150. I am monitoring the EP7, which I would buy if it was more like $400.Ah interesting, I've landed on the E-PL8 for my m43 camera. Any reason you chose the E-PL7? Do you use a viewfinder?
I still have my E-PL7. It had 3-axes IBIS, which works surprisingly well. It's just one of those "everything works pretty well" sort of cameras. It sits in my office sporting the P20 1.7. It's a great version of the ever-evolving Olympus Pens.In December I sold off my “larger kit” which was a G9, PL12-60 and a PL25/1.4 to boot.

I think it means swapping stuff for cash, and then use the cash to get other stuff, so in practical terms it is the same as buying, but with some hassle involved.What does that word---"sell"----mean?
Ah, that one has sadly slipped under the radar, anyone with the almighty powers feel free to merge as wanted.We do have a "gear disposals" thread. But I guess selling and disposing might be different. Hahah.
When the digital body count is closer to thirty bodies and atleast the same amount of lenses, there must be some house cleaning done. Or it is more to the tune of one body leaves, two bodies enters, when or if I get any response on a couple of "I am interested" messages I have sent out...I see! I do the same but keep the older stuff as well as paying cash for new stuff
Three bodies, three different default lenses. Very practical for 'grab and go'.I sold 2 copies of the Olympus 40-150 4-5.6 that I had. There was nothing wrong with those lenses, they are quite good performers for the price, its just that I recently repurchased a Panasonic 35-100 2.8 II, and I don't see the need to have 3 lenses with similar focal lengths.
After weeks of thinking about it, I also sold my always trusty Olympus EM-5 II, absolutely nothing wrong with the camera! But I also have a Pen-F, a G9 and an EM-5 III. So I asked myself? Do I really need 4 Micro 4/3 bodies? The answer is a big NO, therefore I had to let my EM-5 II go while it is still worth some money.
I don't even think that I need 3 bodies, I'm even thinking to take another step and downsize my kit to only 2 Micro 4/3 bodies, the problem is which one to let go next? I still don't know what to do.

I'm hanging on to my FE2 ! Haven't put a roll of film through it for ... maybe two decades but I'm keeping it for sureTwo analog cameras are on the way out: Nikon FE2 and Zeiss Ikon ZM.
I also have a FM3a that gets all the use since I got it. Without this, I definitely wouldn't get rid of it!I'm hanging on to my FE2 ! Haven't put a roll of film through it for ... maybe two decades but I'm keeping it for sure
