Looks really good but i would prefer without the grip and the hump for smaller size and weight

+1 I can live without the grip and battery pack too. Some may want it though. Looks great! I'll be sitting on pins and needles for the reviews to come in.

It has a tweaked GX1 sensor..

Same here (though it does look like the grip and the battery pack are a nice fit for those who want it).

I've been using their little E-P1 for few weeks now with 17mm f2.8 lens and quite happy with the size and handling, definitely interested in this camera...

Well, nice looking camera for sure.

Feel sorry for the loyal Pentaxians who get the K-01 instead.

It may look nice - to me, more like a Nikon than an Olympus - but the small sensor is even screwier for using old manual focus lenses.

Definitely, it is no legacy lens platform. But it seems to be quite a capable, compact, attractive little camera.

I have an E-PL1, the new model is intriguing..as is the K-01. Oly and Pentax are trying hard to keep my business!
