I just had a look at the Sony site in Sweden where I live and they have just started selling the 5r with the pancake zoom. Before it was only with the 18-55. This just became a very interesting option!

But one thing I always wondered, isn't it difficult to do manual focus without a viewfinder? Is this the problem in sunlight people refer to?

BTW, on touch-screen, many hate that 6 doesn't have it. I don't care either way but I can see where 5R (and 5N) style touchscreen can be handy: Focus Magnify. With my cameras (NEX-3 and A55), I have to step to the point using the dial. In 5R, you can touch the area you want to magnify and acquire focus.
