if i understand right the EPL5 will be a great choice for m4/3 users, with 16 mp, 8 fps and focusing with touch screen.

but still no built in view finder, i am so glad i did not buy the EPL3 last month.
the GH3 got the upper hand with 20 fps (is that right WOW), and a built in view finder, but still no in body IS.

agree :t::t:
The GH3 has 6 fps for full size images, but that is with black out between, 4 fps with liveview if I remember correctly. It can probably to 20 fps in some reduced size output.
Important to me will be
Another interesting thing is what is mentioned as an "electronic shutter" -- on the G5, this allows first of all silent shooting and secondly, gives sharper photos with some lenses at certain shutter speeds because vibrations from the mechanical shutters usually degrade images to some extent.
I am hypothesizing that the larger housing may also help dampen some vibrations, but we will see in due time
thanks

if that really means ability to get sharper pictures and use higher iso settings -- it will be interesting to get the scoop on that when direct comparisons with the EM5 comes out.

Anyway, as I've said it many times before, we need new lenses - long prime lenses! Panny has plans for a 150mm 2.8 which looks more like a long portrait lens to compete with the likes of Canon's 135mm f2L lens rather than be a true 300 2.8 in FF terms. Was hoping for the still-mythical 300mm f4 or 400mm f5.6 to materialize, or at the very least teleconverters compatible with that 150mm 2.8.
I read a quote from an interview with someone (I think someone from Olympus) saying that TCs are needed (so I assume he thinks they will make one)

guess a prime 300mm and 400mm, is more useful, TC can reduce much of the IQ specially for not very skilled photographers like myself.
A TC before being useful will need to (a) be of very high quality, and (b) be paired with a very good lens. I am not sure any of the longest current lenses are good enough. On the other hand, the full 4/3 system has (if I have understood correctly) a very good 1.4x TC.

That 150mm f2.8 looks like it could be a high quality lens. A 2.0x tc would take it to 300mm (600mm FF equivalent). I would still prefer a 300mm f4 for better IQ.
But any of these larger lenses will require something like the GH3 for better handling. So the larger 150mm and GH3 suggests Panasonic is planning for larger/longer lenses.

i would dream of a high quality fast 250 mm, that also keep the compact concept of the m4/3, along with 1.7 TC. that would give a little higher than 400mm, as i think the lumix 100-300mm is perfect in its rang.
