Hello,

What do you say about these two ?
What is best camera to buy between this two and why?
It will be the first professional camera that i will buy.

Also i would like to recommend me some lens .
I usually take pictures of landscapes and buildings. ( I am an architect student )

I am waiting your answers!

Thanks in advance,
Panayotis
 
I am looking at these also so i may only be recycling internet reviews but the omd can be bought (at least here in europe) cheaper than the ep5, yet the omd has an evf which is extra again on the EP-5. The ep5 does have 1/8000th sec shutter though if this is important to you (most find they can get by with 1/4000th sec fine for 99% shots). i would go with the omd as the prices stand now. The EP-L5 may also be worth a look
 
For what it's worth, I like the OM-D more. I really like having the viewfinder, personally.
 
The OM-D is a nice camera but it is effectively yesteryear's model. The expectation is the E-P5 will outperform it and the successor for the OM-D is due to be announced shortly. Rumours are though that the OM-D EM-1 is likely to be $500 more than the OM-D EM-5.

Personally at this point I'd wait it out another month if for nothing else than hoping for an EM-5 price drop.
