And let me spell it out for you. If you don't think the extra bells & whistles are worth it, just get the more affordable E-PM2, E-PL5 or even an earlier generation of Pens.

Some people are happy...

Vinc T is right.

And some of us, while impressed with the specs, are not so pleased with the E-M5 ergonomics and its small, sticky buttons.

The E-P5 looks like a more physically solid,...

Is this... the highest rating for an entry-level, mirrorless camera at DPR? It looks like it.

What makes this camera slightly better than, say, the NEXF3 (closest rival reviewed at DPR)?

Independent as in... indePENdent?

English, please?

The newer m43 16MP sensors are also more capable than the 2009 m43 12MP sensor. Just saying...

The Pens are also smaller so (with the right lens) so you can have your "camera is your coat pocket" thing if that's what you're looking for.

It's part of the choice you make between the OM-D and...

Nailing the shot is at least as important as image quality so AF (and to a lesser extent manual focusing) along with reliable IBIS matter. Fuji falters here.

If one is not satisfied with a kit...

Not bad, but the silver 75mm looks more stylish.

E-PL5 is below the NEX-6 level, E-P3 is above it. :)

That's the beauty of interchangeable system cameras like this one. Choices of lenses and accessories (like EVFs), big and small, to fit each photographer's needs

Or why Voightländer avoids Sony? It's more about where they think they can fill a niche, where there's the best potential for themselves and who they are competing with within a system rather than...

It has the 5-axis IBIS, but one that is "improved" somehow.

I'm fine with a camera without a built-in EVF. I'd pay as much as an OM-D for a rangefinder Pen if the other features are worth it. LCD size is ok with me, but visibility in daylight is more...

Smaller too without the built-in EVF.

Some features are are more advanced on the E-P5 compared to the OM-D (AF, IBIS, max shutter speed, LCD, etc)

DPR probably already has the camera and putting it to the test as we speak. Once the official announcement is made, DPR will magically post a hands-on preview article.

I do like how DPR is...

Probably because it is very similar to the Lumix 20mm, a fast, (relatively) cheap, small, (nearly) all-purpose prime lens. I find Samsung lacking in many departments, but they absolutely nailed...

1. The E-620 DSLR camera. :) 2. fairly fast in good light on E620, slllloooow on m43. Manual focus does work better than most m43 lenses though (not focus by wire)  3. Somewhat too big for the...

You removed the flash by placing a viewfinder there. No thanks.

For the E-P3 vs. the E-PL3, the reasons where the better LCD, touchscreen, more button controls and built-in flash. It was prettier too.It's still early, but it looks like the same applies to the...
