EPL-7 or EPL-8? what is the differences?

Thanks for the replies
We are planing a trip to a camera shop so my wife can decide between a white or brown epl-7/8.
As i am apparently paying for it it will most likely be what ever cost the most.

The E-PL7 should be a much cheaper price and thus a better buy. If an E-PL5 were available for cheaper it would even be a better buy. However, to get wifi, the cameras you mention are required. There will be no discernable difference in image quality between any of them - despite the advertising hype and claims.

This summer I couldn't find the E-PL7 at the price I wanted to spend - but I found an EM-10 at Best Buy for $395 so chose it instead. A few features different here and there, but really nothing lost or gained in any choice when it comes to the final image produced. All the best in your choice. I wanted Wifi in one of my camera bodies, and actually use it all the time in my travel photography to get quick posts to my Social Media - so the EM-10 fit that bill.

I can not see much differences between the two did i miss something?

Only the body. Not interested on EM10 mark II? it has 5 axis.

PL7 is still a a great camera. I upgraded only because i needed a grip for bigger lenses for longer photoshoots.

If that's the case buy a used e-pm2 and get the same sensor as the pl and e-m5 (and mkii) for that better image quality. The PL7or8 does have more control points and the tilting screen.

Sensor yes. But 3 axis is (supposedly) much better than 2 axis IS. Add wifi, more control points, tilting screen. The biggest handling thing is IMO the dedicated wheel for exposure on top. Makes handling much easier.

Thaks to all who posted.
A white epl-7 is on its way with a new pancake zoom brand new from finland cheeper than second hand or buying the lens buy its self. I will post some shots and thoughts after it gets here.
