Read that list and tell me that this camera isn't lust-worthy.

Certainly many of us here do, me included. Plenty of the normal contributors/complainers over on the four-thirds DSLR forum making their typical negative comments.

. . . Just the 5 stop IBIS is enough for me. Add to that the magnesium weather sealed body and this camera is too much for me to resist no matter whether it has a hump or not. If it turns out that this 3D tracking is the real deal, I'm putting my 5DmkII and all of my Canon lenses up for sale. I might be doing that anyway because the 75/1.8 and 35-100/2.8 will fulfill all of my needs with lenses and I've been slowly learning how to utilize the fast single shot AF of my E-PL3 better and better and apparently this E-M5 OMG camera will be even faster regardless of how well the 3D tracking works..

. . . Some of those four thirds diehards are going to end up orphaned forever in a sad little world where they'll eventually have to drink the grape flavored KoolAid and then buy Nikons.

I don't - but I haven't found any other way to size up a composition, be it with JPG or RAW.

It's all good
However I wish they'd increase the shutter speed to 1/8000 to match most DSLRs or include a builtin ND filter
Many times I found myself shooting wide open under bright conditions and the speed maxed out ;-(
Cheers, ;-)

Tim, you're obviously free to do whatever you want to do .. but I find it surprising that you (like many other people) get easily influenced by spec sheets alone.. which is nothing more than marketing. IBIS is a good example:
These manufacturer claims represent the best possible case.. a more relevant question would be how often do you consistently reach these stops and on which lens and that's precisely the info you won't get.
If Olympus claims 5 stops.. but you only get these 5 stops in 5% of the situations... than this whole claim becomes quite relative.
So I'd be a bit more patient.. and wait for the camera to be actually officially announced, reviewed .. and get a chance to test it first in a shop.
Never trust the manufacturer (and that's certainly true for Olympus) !!

Actually, if you go to the Oly SLR forum, many over there seem at least as excited as us. I used to live over there myself.

I agree. I appreciate 1/8000 on my E5. You would think they could have it here, but perhaps this is not quite the "pro" model that some people are waiting for. To me it looks like a 620 replacement.

Specs and test results and actual usage are 3 often different things. I hope it's as good as many people have already decided it is, but I'm a natural born skeptic. Time will tell.

Bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Bokeh is not the same as depth of field (DOF).
