What I like with the evf is that I'm able to zoom/enlarge the focus area (focus assist, I think it's called) and it's very helpful with the scope. It's a small camera though, and some are not bothered by it. The good thing is that you have the option of a two-way grip. The bad is that the grip is somewhat expensive. There are third party grips that are cheaper, but the original grip let you have two batteries and works in portrait mode. Eventually I'll get one.
The E-7 (or E-5 successor, since no name has yet been revealed) is yet a rumour http://www.43rumors.com/ft4-trusted-source-e-5-successor-coming-for-sure/#comments
but several indications tells that it strongly seems to be a release for october/november of a 4/3s body and a om-d pro model. In time we'll see if it's true.
