I'd be thinking the E-PM2. E-M5 IQ in a tiny, light camera. The lack of a Mode
dial is actually an advantage for rough
and tumble, as it can't get bumped to a different setting. Set right four way
controller button to lock the controller,
and the thing stays set as you want as it is put into and pulled out of bags,
pockets, purses, rubs against straps, and
so on.
No less weather resistant than it's big brothers, and cheaper to replace if the
worst does happen. Fits into a small,
protective case.

IR says "There's also a new short release-time lag mode, which increases power
consumption by around one-fifth, but
decreases prefocused shutter lag by around the same margin. Olympus is claiming
a time of around 0.049 seconds, which
would gel well with a 20% reduction over the 0.060 seconds we measured for the
E-P3."
Somehow, I'd think an EFC would reduce power consumption. That's a mighty small
change. I can't imagine I'd notice it -
especially if Anti-Shock is still needed.

It's a great sensor. And it's very much in line with their history, the prior
µ4/3 sensor having been used in eight
camera models.
