Actually, you lot may be the wrong people to ask...
You may remember that a couple of years ago near the end of our trip to
Rome/cruise through Greece that my trusty E-M5 ceased to live. It just
shut down and wouldn't come back. I've tried a hard reset, but no go. I
finished out our last day in Rome with my iPhone.
In late 2019 I picked up a shiny new E-M5 mkIII, which is still clicking
away. But that original E-M5 is still sitting on the shelf, looking
forlornly at me.
I believe at the time, it was mentioned that for a $250 flat fee, Oly
would refurb it and bring it back to life.
The family CFO asked why I needed two cameras and questioned my wisdom.
I explained that it's always good to have a spare body, and that the
original camera does a few tricks that the new one doesn't, including
letting me use the extended battery grip that Oly stubbornly refuses to
even consider for the mkIII. Plus, the screen flips up the right way for
ground-level shooting. The look I got seemed to indicate my explanation
didn't exactly justify my reasoning.
Am I crazy, or is it worth sending the original body back in for some TLC?
