Great camera it is indeed. I wonder how its digital zoom compares to the OM-D's electronic teleconverter. My guess is that the OM-D has a slight advantage in stills but this camera has an advantage in video. Can't wait for the 150mm 2.8 lens to come out next year and to stick it on this camera.

The only problem with that is that I believe there is only two or three weather sealed lenses available at the moment. I could be wrong though as I am not very well up on m43 gear.

You could well be right, Ron. I've not checked either. However, it's a good start to get a weather-sealed body. What I'd really like to see is a 300mm or 400mm prime for the m4/3 :t:

Hi Hobbes. I have just checked and it seems that there are four weather-resistant m43 lenses currently available:
Panasonic 12-35 f2.8
Panasonic 35-100 f2.8
Olympus 12-50 f3.5-6.3
Olympus 60 f2.8 macro
I suppose that a 300mm prime might appear one day, although it might be too big to suit the small format. I think the chances of a 400mm prime are very remote. I could be wrong though. I often am.
