The obsession with legacy design in virtually all cameras today is just hilarious. Here, not only do we see the lack of viewfinder/rangefinder and built-in flash, but we also see the lack of an articulating LCD screen, simply to accommodate retro styling. At least we can be glad that it doesn't have a fake pentaprism hump, like Panasonic's ridiculous Micro Four Thirds offerings. What should be a radical and fascinating new direction for photography turns out to be just the same old, same old. But still, Olympus and Panasonic are doing far better job pushing digital photography forward than either Canon and Nikon, but it is not enough. I will stick to my "point-and-shoot" camera for now, though I am considering getting an SLR as well.
