There is no doubt the new E-M1II is an excellent camera but the price tag is a big hurdle for many. A 43rumors reader (Thanks!) noted that at least in Japan there is a cashback offer on E-M1II and lens bundles. I do hope Olympus will extend this worldwide!

For Dpreview the new Panasonic G85 is the best camera you can buy in the $900-1200 Interchangeable Lens Camera category:
The G85 (or G80, or G8, depending on where you live), is our recommendation not only because it’s extremely good in terms of image quality, autofocus and video capabilities but because the user interface makes it easy to use these capabilities to the full.
And Steve Digicams just published the G85 review:
The Panasonic Lumix G85 is a powerful and lightning fast mirrorless camera that is perfect for anyone looking for still image and video capture with full manual control.
G85 in USA at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon.
G80-G81 in Europa at Amazon Germany, ParkCameras.
