Yeah, blame America. I don't know exactly where in Europe you are from, but Americans are not the idiots who encouraged disparate economies to join together in a currency union. In fact,...

It may outsell other P&S cameras according to a user-based top sellers list on a photo sharing website, but I doubt it outsells other P&S cameras in general. You just proved my point.

Another niche model from Sony that is too expensive to generate strong sales and will contribute to Sony's financial problems.

What's next is bankruptcy and a fire sale of all proprietary technology. Give it a year.

15 years ago (not "not so long ago") I remember the outcries of film fans that it would take many, many years (not "never") for digital to achieve the quality of celluoid photos. Thanks to Canon it...

It will take a long time before an EVF equals an OVF. Basically all new, non-scanning technology is needed. MF with any EVF is a joke.

I like the looks of the E-M1, the EM-5 and most of the latest PENs. Why do some, especially Oly fanboys, want to see the OVF go away? I think it is because Olympus has taken a different route. Not...

A major reason this camera will not make a big enough splash, dooming Olympus.

I want one of these. However, it will be no more successful than the EM-5, thus I think Olympus will not survive.

Isn't that the single, most important message the EM-5 sent out? The optical viewfinder is superior in most regards and isn't going anywhere.

24-80 is not bad, but 24-100 would be better. After thinking about it and visualizing based on actual measurements, I retract my "chunky" comment.

Allow me to be the 7th person to say that you're a moron.

Constant f/4 for both would be better.

You're joking, right?

A constant f/4 with longer range would be better for this type of camera. Now you have two choices for a walk-around lens: a pathetically sluggish f/3.5-6.3; or a chunky, truncated f/2.8.

Retracting lens = quite a bit more compact than Nex7. Neither is pocketable, except for big jacket pocket.
