My feeling exactly. The 75mm leaves me trying to come up with a use for it.
Then again, my money will go to the 60mm Macro lens this year, in the hope that Olympus will come up with a more affordable equivalent of Panasonic’s new zoom. There’s hope…

This goes to show that Olympus finally should produce a decent pancake. Maybe a remake of their 17mm? Combined with the E-PMx, that would be my dream camera for street photography.

Judging from the sample images floating around, the 41MP sensor seems real enough. If it is anything to write about on this website is again another story.

@Jolyon Smith: No need for insults.
Sure, an EVF-only camera has disadvantages in some situations, but you cannot seriously claim that one could not do “serious” photography with it. Serious photography is way older than tilting displays or any displays, or any viewfinder for that matter.

My unrealistic hope is that Olympus will produce an ultra-light, super-small camera with a built-in viewfinder but no display. Exhausting all means of miniaturization would not result in an overly ergonomic tool, but in the ideal pocket companion.

Thanks for that list. There is certainly some room for improvement in the EM-5. ISO 100 or even 50 would indeed be nice and an articulated screen too, even if it is just to protect the screen (For me, a camera without screen would be perfect). When it comes to the flash, I’m glad the [...]

What do you mean by “screwed up on small things”? I have the Panasonic G3 and it suits me very well for what I need it for. Now, the E-M5 is the first serious alternative. for about 30 grams more, I would get IBIS, weather sealing, more buttons and Olympus colors. Sounds great to me.

Speaking of discussions: Did you notice that the number of comments for the dpreview E-M5 hands-on article is about to set a new record? 824 and counting!
Shows the huge interest in the camera. Plus, most of the most popular comments are very positive.
