Have you sent a camera in for warranty work? I had my kid pull the tripod over and break the lens off my EP3, broke the lens and the camera. Sent it in. They charged me all of about $75 to rebuild the entire thing and give me a new lens with a two week turnaround.

And it is not a gimmick.

I have been to events in the rain where guys I know are running around with plastic bags on their Nikon cameras and look at me like I am crazy and offer me an old grocery bag for my E-M1. I turn them down and advise they buy an Olympus camera. Keeping water off the lens surface is the only concern.

I agree on the EM1, I have had mine drenched, muddy, cold, you name it, even the dials are discolored from using it at work...bulletproof comes to mind...

It just works...
