I have about $600-$700 to invest in new equipment (yay tax refunds) and am trying to figure out what I want to buy next, lens or body.
I already have a great 70-200 KM lens for my Sony Alpha, BUT my Sony Alpha a200 body is an old entry level body. I also have a new m43 Olympus EP3 (great camera) but the only good lens I have is the 20mm Panasonic pancake which has limited utility.
I'm debating between buying a new Alpha body like the a35 or a55, or a new lens for my m43 like either the Olympus 45mm f1.8. I'm also open to suggestions of better ways to spend the money. I would prefer not to sell my old a200 so that I can keep it as a secondary / backup body, but I can be convinced to sell it if that would be the better investment.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Lenses
- Sony 35mm f/1.8
- Konica Minolta "beercan" f4 70-210mm
- Sony 18-70mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens (which is surprisingly good for a kit lens)
- m43 Olympus 14-42mm kit lens (I don't care for this lens much)
- m43 Panasonic 20mm f1.7
Thanks for the advice everyone.
