The camera won our hearts, not with its stunning image quality (it’s so-so) or high-tech features (it doesn’t have any), but just by being a joy to carry around and take photos with.

You give up the electronic viewfinder and a number of other features, but you'll get great pictures and solid HD video.
Leave the E-PM2 on the shelf; if you want to save money, pick up a high-end point-and-shoot like the Canon S110 or the Panasonic LX7.
The OM-D E-M5 (an unfortunate naming scheme) is solid, well-designed and customizable. It's the first compact camera I've used that I felt could truly replace my Canon DSLR without serious sacrifices.
