Dpreview review pretty much confirm that the panasonic 7-14mm beat it when it comes to sharpness/CA/Distortion/Lens flare plus Panasonic got extra 2mm and F4.0 Through the entire range

4 years ago |Just be patient, Olympus is right on schedule. The flagship rollover time is 4 years, so 2011 we will see the next E-X
Nothing in the 43 dept will be introduced in the coming months, to keep the m43 premium high
If you decide to jump ship, please sell your stuffs on eBay. They dont fetch much in returns – so more people will have the chance to use SHG glasses for cheap.
