Fine, but IQ is inferior to the second generation sensors in the PL5/PM2. No question that the P3 is a better and more capable body. That doesn't change the fact that the pictures at the lighting...

I agree on the use of primes. I prefer them in most scenarios. For m4/3, I have the Panasonic 14, 20, and 25; Olympus 12, 17, 45, 75; Sigma 19 and 30. All of them are very good to excellent. It's...

So does my Kodak Brownie, yet there are better cameras out today. It would be one thing if the E-P3 was $100. It's not. It's at about the same price you can find better cameras for. So why?

Newegg sells the E-PM2 for $600 with kit lens. Where can I find that camera for about the same price ($400)?
I think, right now, the Panny G5 is the best deal in m43 cameras.
