I dont care about the design looks, tho it looks nice in a retro kinda way. What does bother me is the price and lack of grip, slap a 500mm lens on that and try to hold it!

This link points to a video that shows the panny. The guy also says that the price will be 2,000$ or more.

For me, the key issue is how the camera handles. What I love about the E-1 and hate about the E-500 is the wealth of simple, positive and fairly ntuitive controls on the one, and their replacement by cheaper multi-funtion ones and multi-layered menus on the latter.
I'd prefer to stay with Olympus, and would like the tilt LCD, but the return of a manual aperture ring and a separate speed dial is a powerful argument for the Panasonic. A key question is the speed and effectiveness of the focusing, an area in which Oly has lagged badly, and also of the image processing, an ara which could also stand improvement.

................. compared with the E-330.
As Salieri was supposed to have said about Mozart ....... "Too many buttons".
Shape wise, its a tilt towards the Leica rangefinder camera's but whereas with film rangefinder cameras you had simplicity, here with the Pana-Lumix - all we have is an abundance of buttons.
Call me an old fuddy duddy or worse button averse, but the Pana-Lumix does not win ergonomically.
My 2 cents worth .............

Hey, I paid £1200 for my E-1. Never regretted it, and the boss told me to go buy it. It coule be she had seen the sick puppy looks, though...
But, come on, NEW E-1 on ebay now are under £400 for body only.
I'm more than slightly tempted!
