While you guys have been busy arguing, I have placed my E-M5 order (silver, 12-50 lens included).

Will probably add a fast prime pretty quickly, most likely the 25/1.4.

You went out of your way for silver? OK.

They really do look great.

Too bad they're 4/3rds. Fact is, the crop factor alone makes most of my good legacy glass dubiously-useful at best.But that really looks like a *sweet* design. Let us know how it feels.

Went for silver bceause it looks like a baby version of my OM2.

I agree that a larger sensor would be nice, but I've come to the conclusion that 4/3 is by now "good enough" for everything I want to do with it. The weathersealing (supposed to be as good as the E-5 which means you can practically stick it underwater), compact size, integrated EVF etc just nails it.

Will still keep my Canon gear, but limited to the things where it really excels. 7D + 500/4 for wildlife, 1DsII + Zeiss Planar and PC-Nikkor and Samyang 14 for landscapes.
