Yes, focusing would be the deciding factor for me. Currently, LX3 is me benchmark for small cams.

It's either this or GH1.

looks similar to OM bodies,smaller though,i shoot without strap on the OM bodies

Oh come on, the GH1 will NEVER qualify as a fashion accessory....

It's not so small, look at the You Tube video ... it's just about similar to a Leica M or Olympus OM size ...

ya... that's why even when GH1 beats the LX3 AF hands down, I'm waiting for this.

But if E-P1 is slower compared to LX3, it will be no-go for me. LX3 is already stretching my patience. :sweat:

Praying hard that I can get good AF wif Bling factor :lovegrin:

Some guy over at dpreview actually did some comparisons already. I would say pretty comparable to the LX3 and smaller than G10.

LX3 stretching your patience? Hmmm... you want to try my DP1? :bsmilie:

Well, to put things into perspective, I've spent my non-existent mid-year bonus on a Nespresso Citiz and a Stokke high chair already.

So... :cry:

Hey, come on, it's the right thing to do. The little one smiles and your heart goes to mush. You'd buy anything for her.

Personally, this one's exterior does not thrill me in the least. The new sensor, AA filter, and processor get my attention, though. What happened to TruePIC IV processor? Is it coming soon in another full-sized model?

I'm hoping that they can bring out models with the newer hardware soon to prove that Olympus bodies have a real grip on sharp photos and good colour.

The automatic exposure seems to have changed as well from the 49-zone pattern introduced with the E-500. I hope that's a permanent change to the line.
