You guys do know that this is all about form factor, style and ergonomics, right? The camera is the innards of an E-M5
II with only two changes I can see.
1. A 20 MP sensor. That may sound like a big increase, but it's not. The increase in linear resolution is around 12%,
just around the point where careful pixel peeping MIGHT show a tiny bit more fine detail. The couple of hands on reviews
I've read so far can't find any increase for sure, but they are limited to Viewer 3 so far.
2a. They have moved all the silly (to me) "creative" and scene modes to a separate dial on the front, which means it's
finally possible to access all four Custom Settings sets directly from the Mode dial. A real improvement - except ...
2b. With the add-on grip, Robin Wong finds his finger being attacked by the aggressive knurling on this front knob.

And what some may see as a step back. Although necessitated by the idea of recreating something visually rather like the
original Pen-F(T), there is no front grip. that means additional shekels, size and weight for those who need a grip.
From the pics, it seems that the add-on grip isn't very deep, nor very tall. Folks like AG will need to hold one to see ...
And, as far as I can tell, the HR mode isn't any faster than on the E-M5 II, no 1/60 sec. HR shooting. Not absolutely
sure, but Oly would trumpet it, and no reviews say anything as yet.
Nothing to See Here Moose
