The best part I like about this is the DSLR sized sensor in such a compact package... because of stupid megapixel race, almost all of the point-n-shoots (and even prosumer) cams available today really sad image quality, as they all try to cram more n more MPs on small sensor.

People who want good camera with good image quality and in convenient package, will like this... this should cost slightly lesser than most of the entry level DSLRs to make it an attractive package. :)
 
It is Priced at $749 (body only), $799 (with 14-42mm lens), and $899 (with 17mm pancake lens and viewfinder).

With all the Features in it's light, it's still decently priced
 
Considering the the performance of the final output in terms of picture output - Its ISO performance with ithe new version V engine far surpasses expectations.
I'd say even outperforms some of oly's own DSLR's - download some of the raw files form the web and process them in 'olympus master 2.2' (downloadable) - the result speaks for itself.
* The video seems to pick up the lens motor noise very easily though.
Its a very good buy for a small and compact "system" ( a few more MFT available from panasonic).
 
Guys its NOT a DSLR ! DSLRs have a mirror.

This cam is an EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangable Lens) cam.
 
^ yup, it does not have a mirror. its sensor is directly in view without any protection at front.
