Looking to move on from my TG-6 and Olympus's line of micro 4/3 cameras seem to fit the bill in terms of capability while still being relatively compact. If money were not a consideration I would just go buy a new OM-1, but it is so I am looking for an OMD M1 Mark II or III. I would prefer to get a "whole enchilada" type setup with a housing, lenses, and ports for both macro and wide angle. Strobes are less important as I already have a set. Macro is more important to me than wide angle because local diving is pretty murky and doesn't really lend itself well to wide angle, but I would like to have a wide angle setup for when I travel. I might be interested in other camera setups as well if the price was really right, but I don't want a twenty year old cement block of a DSLR type thing if you catch my meaning. I am interested in something that is going to be a step up from my TG-6 in terms of focus capability, sensor size, and low light performance. Let me know what you've got that you don't want anymore. Thanks!

I have an Olympus OMD-EM5 (no lens), Olympus Housing and flat port if you are interested. Camera has the flash, battery (2) and charger. I was looking for $375. All in great condition.

No problem, let me know if you change your mind or have any questions.
I have the Olympus EPL10 in an AOI housing comes with a 14-42EZ lens and standard port, I also have the port extension ring for use with the 60mm macro lens, I'm not selling the 60mm lens though. I'm not too sure I am going to sell off the other ports I have for it.
I have an Em1MkII and a Nauticam housing. I have a complete set of underwater lenses - Oly 8mm Fisheye, Oly 30mm Macro, Oly 60mm Macro, Oly 14-42mm. The corresponding ports and port extensions to accommodate all these lenses. For land, I have the excellent 12-40mm 2.8 and the 14-150mm for more reach. I also have 4 batteries, ULCS arms and clamps, and 2 Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobes with fiber cables. Basically a turnkey solution. It's well used, but represents a substantial investment on my part. I'm willing to entertain reasonable offers. My galleries from the past 4 years are all with this setup and in my signature. Let me know if you want to discuss.

Just an FYI regarding a purchase I made recently to upgrade my TG-4 that you might want to consider if new is within your budget and you want something light. Backscatter's "best bang for the buck" deal now is for an EM-10 mk iv & 14-42 mm lens ($800) with an AOI/Backscatter housing with vacuum system included ($700). The EM-10 mk iv has the same sensor as the EM-1 ii/iii afaik, but is significantly lighter (and the housing is lighter as well). It lacks custom modes and a number of other bells and whistles of the EM-1 ii/iii, but has all the basic camera features most would want. I have only used mine in the pool so far, but so far so good. Of course other ports and lenses will cost more.
I want to thank everyone for their input and offers. The itch has officially been scratched. Thank You Brian Cole for the awesome EM1MkII setup. I can't wait for the weather gods to give me a decent weekend day to get it in the water.
