I have played with one and WANT one - its been a long time since that has happened. I know the World is blasting off with the new Canon 5D Mk3 and the Nikon D800 ( I use both Canon & Nikon) but this new Olympus makes real sense and its lovely to use - a real camera fans camera. I repeat - handled one - want one.

Olympus are bang back on form and their using the same ideas to sell this as they did the early OM range (OM1/ OM2) - David Bailey back on the box next????

You can only put OM lenses on with an adapter. Olympus make one (OM Adapter MF-2), and I think there are third party ones as well.

Marco I love it fantastic is 5 axis
I got to get one

@13vafanculo It is a much larger sensor then point and shoots. It's a little smaller then aps-c but there really is no point in a mirrorless compact if the lens are huge.

@JogBird That's a decent camera, but I would prefer M43 because of Zuiko and Leica lenses.

[mikeismad]

I have to agree - this is a stunning new camera - played with one at the recent Focus Show (NEC Birmingham England) - I loved it. In fact I felt it was the BEST camera in the show and that includes the Canon 5 Mk3 (and I'm a Canon fan boy) and the Fuji X Pro (lovely camera stupid down market name) - it just shows me and perhaps you how lazy Canon & Nikon have become - and no I don't own any Olympus cameras (yet) - just Canon & Nikon. So how P***ED off am I ? Ps - lovely OM1MD in black - cool.

@JogBird nex7 does not have the plethora of luscious lenses available for this beauty ... as well, the price for prime lens + body is much more attainable with this

[airfixman]

now if only they did a full frame digital OM camera that took OM lenses - that would be amazing

[Lurker]

Will it can take OM lens with the right adapter. :)

[scooterboi]

Do you have a link to your video work?

[Foxx_]

it does take OM lenses... you just need a m43 to OM adapter ;P (and you have no autofocus if you do)

[massatsch]

what i don't understand is why the build the lens so big that you can't put it in your pocket! why aren't they producing a lens like the standard zoom on the gx1 but weatherproof? sorry for bad language :(

[seasorb]

Looks good but sorry video spec for me rules it out. Just not competitive at this price.

[comethoj]

put a canon TV f.95 lens on it would be fun.

[PONM]

video it's about the camera...not the blazer

[ajuk]

Sorry no OM mount and not even an SLR?
