Re: Number ONE accessory after a lens (or lenses)

That's very interesting, Michael, I was actually thinking of getting a Hoodman or some other LCD shader for bright sunlight.

There is another consideration. Does the 3" LCD cause any heat build up on the sensor for long exposures at high ISO? For example, 15 second shutter speeds at ISO 1600? I saw this sometimes with my E-520, and although Dark Frame Subtraction does help, I'm wondering if the issue will be worse with a smaller body?

I don't know.  If it is just the LCD that causes heat build up (and not the camera electronics), you could always either put a VF-2 electronic view finder on the camera, or just connect the analog video out cable (if you connect the cable, even if you don't connect a monitor, it will turn off the video on the LCD).  As was mentioned, the LCD also flips up.
