I like it that they keep competitive with other mirror-less camera's. The
12mm is also a favourite of mine, but I like the 9-18mm zoom too. The 12mm
has a quality look, will it come in black too?
I'm surprised and slightly disappointed that this 'olympus designed'
panasonic sensor does not seem to deliver E-5 quality results (according to
the dpreview compare feature), which were reached with an older 'panasonic
designed' panasonic sensor.
Or did I miss something?
On the other hand, I bought an e-pl2 last week with 14-150mm for a very good
price knowing that these new camera's were around the corner, and I still
think I had a good deal. The e-p3 seems to have more in common with the
e-pl2 then the e-pl3 (no flash, no decent grip). IQ of the e-p3 seems not
stellar better either. Bought the lens primarily for my wife, who doesn't
like changing lenses. The evf is nice too.

The E-P3 is another ho-hum amateur release (not
> the pro body we're waiting for) but that all-metal 12mm f/2.0 - wow
> wow, and double wow. If it's even partially as good as the OM Zuiko
> 24mm f/2.0, it could very quickly become a firm favourite lens.
