Thanks for that. I didn't realise that you had handled the later camera.
I too like metal devices (which is why I so like the iPhone 4 and my MacBook
Pro), but I must reduce the load on my shoulders -- without reducing the choice
of lenses. That's why I now choose to carry either the E-PL2, the Canon G12 or
the Pentax K-5 and assorted lenses.
I hope that your desire for a decent m4/3 camera is satisfied -- soon.
