I have two OMDs - the original E-M10 and the EM-5II. I like them a lot, so much so that I rarely fire up my K-5 any more.
The EM-10, despite being about 6 years old is still my favourite of the two because of its compact size & light weight. It loses very little in comparison with the 5. The 10 series has moved on to the Mk 4 now but they all still retain the compact size & weight. The Mk 4 has a 20MP sensor - the earlier ones have a 16MP sensor. Combined with the little 14-42mm EZ zoom, the 10 series are the ideal travel cameras in my opinion, although they aren't weather sealed (unlike the EM-5 series). If you can pick up a good used Mk2 (probably the best of the series), it shouldn't set you back more than a few 100 dollars.
