Any comparisons Nikon D3200/Oly OMD-EM5?

[phishphood]

Anyone have any thoughts as to which system they would prefer to use. Obviously neither is 'cutting edge' tech but they're both more than decent for IQ at the sizes I would be printing/publishing. I've got a used EM5 body in hand and am working on getting at least a kit 14-42 vII (/R) to either keep it or sell as a bundle. I also have a D3200 coming in used as a gift with an 18-55 kit lens (non-VR). I currently shoot a D40 dryland but aside from kit lenses I only have a 35mm f/1.8 and an old micro-Nikkor 105 (manual everything). Basically, both bodies would be shot with a kit lens for now and the foreseeable future. Cost is a slight issue at the moment, but it doesn't seem like there's much supply of used housings for either so I think that's fairly balanced. I'm mostly just entering U/W photo (very comfortable diving in general) and would be ideally using the same body for shooting on land. I really like the small size of the Olympus and since there's the built-in EVF I think it would work just fine (I really dislike liveview for everyday shooting). Any thoughts on pros/cons for each would be great and thanks for your time. Cheers!

I would go with the EM5 and add the 60 macro and the 8 mm fisheye and appropriate ports. Small, and great IQ.
