Looks pretty much like a non-event. Appears to be same sensor, no
higher ISO, one stop faster shutter speed, more AF points (who cares?),
1/3 stop faster flash synch (1/250 to 1/320 but my E-M5 already does
1/320 despite the spec) and new grip design. The only thing of any
significance I see is a what I interpret as a 1024x768 EVF over the
800x600 of the E-M5. That much higher price is just not justified. I
don't think it can be sustained.
