Thinking of selling my G3 and moving towards OM-D for following reasons

1) OM-D better camera overall

2) higher FPS rate

3) image stabilization

4) better white balance (IMO the G3 is horrible at this)

As a result losing 2 things

1) Swivel screen that rotates towards front

2) Built In Flash

The lack of flash is what concerns me more; I know it comes with a snap-on attachment; those of you who have one do you just carry it around in the pocket or leave it attached? I wonder why Oly didn't consider building it into the camera like most SLRs do nowadays, the Rebel series for example.

I'm happy with it not being built in.

I never use flash for normal photography. If I did then I'd be investing in a decent flash that can bounce.

I chuck it on when I'm doing macro stuff. It works really well for that, and, more importantly, is high enough to clear the lens. I also switch it out fot the LED macro arms depending on what I'm photographing.

Other than that it just lives in the bag.
