Photos of my E-M5 as promised. Taken by iPhone 4 so pardon the poor image quality. The cashcard is for size comparison.
The camera is quite small as you can see, but it's very comfortable in my hand. And this is coming from someone who chose the 60D over 550D due to ergonomics. But the strap lugs are really awkward. The right side lug has to be between my right index and middle fingers during shooting! Again, I want to point out that the build quality is excellent. I manhandled it, fondled it, rubbed it, caressed it... and not a bit of paint came off. (Innuendo learnt from DRTV!)
I can hear the faint hum coming from the EVF but it doesn't bother me. One thing to note: fluorescent lighting flickers in the EVF if the refresh rate is set to "high", but doesn't if it is set to "normal". Also, some of the menu options are a little quirky, for example the settings for what appears on the EVF and LV screen when Info button is pressed. It does have a very cool feature, which is to show blown highlights in orange and dark shadows in blue, right there in the EVF with a press of the Info button. Perfect for those scenes that exceed the dynamic range of the sensor.

Nice photos! You beat me to it by a few minutes.
I guess I don't need to post any more pics. Mine looks exactly like yours. Here's the BCN-1 charger which is very convenient with the detachable cable. (I noticed my battery is grey but yours appears black. Am I mistaken?)

Let's save it for tomorrow. As you can see, my battery is charging - and my body need charging too (i.e. sleep).
I'll write a review some time soon after I have spend time shooting with it and the 12-50 lens. Meanwhile, is anyone selling his/her 25mm f/1.4??

Nice, As7eroidS and rhema83. Congratz!
I'm sure you'll love the camera. Just 3 days of use, and I'm already deeply in love with mine. Really very shiok to use.

I havent really start using it yet but i can say i will love it else i wont have preordered it. Haha.
Need to get some extra batts, 52mm filter, new carrying case, battery grip... Before i sell off thr dslr lol
Can't help but to voice my frustration at oly sg and the shop I ordered from. Oly for the Delay of the silver body and the inflexibility of the shop I ordered from to refund my deposit so I can source for another body elsewhere. Stuck now without a em-5- for my Japan trip end April. Zzz :-\
