I presume you can shoot raw and then apply those arty-farty effects later in
Oly master/studio, etc. ?

Indeed - the soft and pale effects may be useful but - when I saw the
prototype, it had a 'Toy Camera' mode which I think is now called Pop
Art (the first example). It seems a bit of a waste of space, a real
sales gimmick. The so-called pinhole effect is no such thing - simply
a bit of desaturation, edge sharpening and heavy vignetting as far as
I can see. Not a pinhole effect at all. The Grainy BW effect is
just, well, horrible. Not only that but when you shoot an image with
one of these effects, there is a looooong write to card time, even
with LargeFine jpegs.
From what I'm seeing, the E-3 is a better camera at not much more.
The new 14-54mm Mk2 seems bloody good though - especially close
focussing. Can focus at 3"! The tiny tomato type plant (Kangaroo
Apple) was shot at around 100mm - 4" as I remember.
It's a bit unbalanced with that quite heavy lens so I'd prefer it
with the grip - which fortunately takes 2 BLM-1s, not some hybrid slab.
