Olympus PEN E-PL7 (body) + M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm F1.8
If you google around you can get them for just near $500
Pro: It's not about the camera, it's all about the lens. Fast, works well in low light, smooth bokeh, beautiful portraits and crisp landscapes.
Con: Its a prime lens, so no zoom. It's not wide angle, so it forces you to take a lot of steps back from your subjects. So pick up a cheap used 14-42 kit lens.
Get a stylish leather should strap for it and wear it like a hipster fashion icon. never mind the camera in pocket nonsense, you just dust up the lens with pocket lint.
2nd choice Fujifilm x70 or the fujifilm x20 was pretty decent.
- Thank you! My brother-in-law has a PL7, dunno what lens, but it does shoot great pics. Sadly, I wasn't able to turn up the parts you listed for that price =\BuddhaHat
- Seems price has gone up, I think I bought when there was stock still left and shops wanted to shift it.fruitsalad
