It sounds like if I can somehow mix OM-D and Xpro-1 I could have the perfect camera.

I actually have more love for old SLRs than old rangefinders, so I'd take the OM-D with the guts of the XP-1.

Random thought: Sony could stuff the NEX guts into a Minolta X-700 or SRT-inspired body. Mind you, the NEX 7 is already pretty sweet.

Am I wrong for wanting to own a GF1 or GF2? I already own a GH1 and GH2 and I can't think of a single good reason why I should own one of those smaller cameras other than "yay pretty  "

There was new firmware for the x100 released yesterday: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/finepix_x100/ It fixes a couple of crash bugs that I've never encountered. quote:1.Compatibility on Mac OS 10.7 The x10 got a firmware update that allows the RAW button to be reprogrammed so hopefully the x100 will see some of that.

You know, while I was following all the leaks and poo poo before the OM-D was announced I wasn't excited for it, but now I really want it and will probably sell my E-P3. Not sure why either, they just seemed to have done everything right. I might even get the kit lens (12-50mm) even though I don't touch the current one. The real question is black or silver, since silver lenses look weird on a black body but I think the black body (+ black lenses) is overall more attractive.

They'd need more than water protection if there was a Sony sensor in there.

Why is the bucket clear and already full of water if they're not going to submerge the camera in it? They even put the camera precariously on the edge of the bucket at the end and totally fail to "accidentally" knock it in.

I'm debating between a used NEX-5 or GF2(something under $400 basically), with either the 16mm or 14mm pancake respectively. On one hand the NEX would give me focus peaking for using older manual lenses, but the gf2 would let me mount my 300mm lens + 2x teleconverter from my pentax gear and get me ~1200mm of effective lens length if I did the math right. I don't think I can really go wrong with either choice, but does anyone want to throw out some opinions between the two if you've used both or love/hate something about the other?

I see some used 5n thats pretty close to 400 (completed auctions), I would get either used NEX3 or 5n. NEX5 doesn't even have a bigger battery, you basically pay 100 more for a better grip. As for GF2, yes its very cheap. Its your call.

Old lenses will kind of suck with the m43 because of the 2x multiplier. Even a 28mm wide angle is going to be a telephoto.
