But he is making a comparison of Panasonic’s capability *back then* to Olympus capability *now*. Not a fair comparison. As for JPEGS- whatever (and I am a JPEG shooter) – a true sensor improvement has to be seen on the RAW. What you can do for JPEG is tricks and stunts that get you closer to the best you can do with the data given – raw.

That may still happen in the future, given that Sony and Fujifilm (among others) are interested in a business partnership with Olympus. I just don’t get why you expected this to happen already with the OM-D/E-M5. A product which has been in development for several years can’t benefit from a possible future partnership, can it?

Does the price include a kit lens, or is it body only?

Because while this is still a big disappointment, if it includes a lens, that means we can get the body for under $1,000, and a weather-sealed camera for less than a grand is actually a tempting proposition.

If all this camera is nothing more than the Panasonic sensor, a built in VF2, weather sealing (very important to me,) and (I’m not holding my breath on this last one) capable of focusing my 12-60 as fast as an E-3, I’ll buy an EM-5.
