I have decided to sell my EM1.3 and take advantage of the main advantage of m43, being small and capable and using it mainly for people, street, some macro and maybe some traveling. I am bit torn between the OM5 and OMD10IV. The OM5 is of course the better camera, but is almost double the price even used vs the M10IV and has an articulating screen vs the simpler tilt of the M10. I don't care that much about CAF, but will miss the Starry AF, the live ND and maybe the In camera stacking features. What do you think?

I've moved this to the OM forum. I hope that's OK.

You said it yourself; there are features in the OM-5 that you will miss. It seems to be a dandy of a camera. I would go for that if finances allow.

With Street Photography....the 'less features'...the better. Concentrate on the images...the moment, the slice of life. When you have a camera with too many features, a person has a tendency to play with the features and that is distracting. Not just time wise but also mentally. Your mind becomes cluttered and you are not at peace, or at least.... in my humble way I view it ...:-) What is the most featureless camera? jim

Not quite the same situation, but my "serious" camera is also the E-M1 Mark III and I've been trying to use the E-P7 as more of my "street" camera - taking photos at the farmer's market, etc. While its a lovely little camera I have found myself gravitating back to the E-M1 because of the focus stacking. I'm really hoping that the OM-5's internals end up making it into a PEN-style body soon.

Tilting LCD is a must for street, so I would get E-M10 iv and add a prime lens to set hyperfocal distance.
