Is this the prettiest u4/3 camera?

I think so.  It's the Oly EP3, with the vf2, large grip and Asahi pebbled skin.  As an homage to it's vintage rangefinder styling, I've shown it with the Nikon 105/2.5ais.

Very nice UF !

I have an E-PL5 (which is admittedly not as elegant as the EP3) + large grip + VF2 and Nikkor MF lenses... but my 105 mm is a bit more 'brass'd' than yours, so you win the beauty competition.

Never put off until tomorrow. . .
that which you can avoid doing altogether.

Ugly as sin with that bolton EVF and non native mount lens attached.

Fi I say . . . tis the the most wonderous thing I've set my eyes on . . . (today at least)

I love the tapered, silver look of the lens (too bad it's plastic) on the black body, but the PL2 is the only one with the formidable grip!

Don't like the PEN style (and similar NEX): Too wide in comparison to height and depth.

But of course being pretty is not the major point of a camera

There certainly is something about these M43 cams with attachable/detachable EVFs that portrays a certain appeal.  Seeing pictures like this makes me miss my GF2's aesthetics.  My G3 has a great articulating screen but its fixed EVF is nowhere near as functional as even the lowly LVF1.



Seller's remorse...

So this is where you've been hiding. You still have much Nikon gear?

I prefer the OMD b.t.w..

Your outfit isn't bad looking, but I prefer my white one plus it has got a nice bag !

OM-D is the nicest...with some big glass like the 75mm...

Now we're talking!  I'm also partial to the black E-M5 with the Limited Black 12mm.  Rare, gorgeous, and beautifully proportioned.

I bought the silver OMD so that lens colour didn't matter so much, but it does look rather nice in all black.

Another black E-M5, with a F.Zuiko 38/1,8, originally a Pen F lens.

Shot with an Ericsson Xperia smartphone. Nice and pretty, but an ugly picture that doesn't make it justice I'm sorry.

... as a pretty mft camera? I think not and the weird mixture of lenses color, make and material does not help either. What a pity that such a good camera like the E-M5 was designed by Olympus. Still hate it for its look and ergonomics but love the powerhouse it is from a technical perspective. Guess now I am an official hater of the Olympus design department. Please flame me for having a differen taste.

In my eyes, the GF3/5 hag very nice lines. Mated with a pancake lens, and it shows it's sexy body. Mated with a 100-300, as someone suggested, and it becomes an abomination.

Why would anyone flame you over a matter of taste?  I am curious, though: what do you consider to be the best looking camera currently on the market?

Its better looking than any DSLR but the Pens with nothing longer than the kit lens are more attractive.   I like rrr_'s better than black.

I think that the smartest of all was the E-Pl3 : it had the most beautiful lines of all mft cameras, whether in black or white. The E-Pm1 and XZ-1 shared the same sober and smart design.. Too bad that went lost with the fourth generation.

No.

The viewfinder is ugly, the grip is ugly, the aftermarket skin is too thick,

the original e-P1 is far prettier.
