I'm aware that many of you are less than thrilled by the camera concept but upon first contact I sort of like it.
The build quality of the camera itself is on Leica-level - and it better has to regarding the steep pricing anyway. The AF speed is not really top notch but the handling is actually quite nice and far better than -say- on the E-PL3.
It follows something like a Minox philosophy - a Pana GH-2 or Sammy NX10 are monsters in comparison.
The two kit lenses are extremely lightweight. The outer shell is made of metal here as well but the inner tube is made of plastic. The zoom lens extends quite a bit (mono-cam).
No field image impressions yet.
