But this model doesn't look like a PnS at all more like mini-DSLR. Was hoping more like a slightly thicker LX3.

if there are any pancake type of WA and 35mm, then maybe it's pocketable in a coat..

I thought that was the idea, if looked like DSLR handles like DSLR might as well bring out DSLR, why use smaller version DSLR.if there are any pancake type of WA and 35mm, then maybe it's pocketable in a coat..
Personally, I'll wait till Olympus release their micro 4/3 lenses.
Hopefully the Olympus version would revert to the rangefinder styling, and if the comments on the AF speed holds true, then it's another step closer to replacing DSLR gear.
sadly, it IS a dSLR which further enhance one of the pro of the the 4/3 format system which is lightweight and small size.
Can check the AF speed demo at dpreview site... looks impressive. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Low light AF is another story tho.
hehe yea, tot of it again, so deleted off the comment but you posted just before i delete it. :embrass:Technically it's not an SLR-concept camera, it's actually more similar to rangefinders (except that Panny went conservative, and IMHO missed out on product differentiation, on the styling!).

anyway, it looks to me like a high end prosumer with a dSLR-like sensor and lens changing system. with the EVF and big sensor it definitely looks an Sony R1 with seperate lenses. :sweat:
I think the 4/3 std's thing about telecentricity is that all light must fall 90' onto the sensor, aka rear element must be bigger than sensor.i think it still not quite possible for sensor of that size... the lens will still need to be huge enough to cover the image circle. at least its getting close to the size of fz28.

Yes, the Epson R-D1s is a beautifully made camera... a real work of art !:thumbsup:Hope Oly come up with one that works like the Epson Rangefinder... Played with it once and it is like so classical~~~

but for this m43 the spec was relaxed (probably pushed by Panasonic ;p) so now the light is like other brands', where the rear element's picture "flares" into a cone unto the same sensor. Not sure by how much though, so pre-pro vignetting would be more present ever?

Yah, viewfinder is sweet man, can open two eyes to take photos indefinitely. The pics at http://www.digitalcamera.jp/ of the 20mm looks good, hope Olympus will come out with a rangefinder like body.
can use the adaptor... but still why bother getting a adaptor and mount it there when the overall size is going to be same as the 4/3 size and now with a PNS grip.
It's not so much about the extension tube but the control mechanism in the lenses. I could be wrong though :embrass:
