'What he said', exactly.I'm going to spend some time doing a proper comparison with the NEX7 and decide which one is for me. I've always had a soft spot for Olympus (E10, E1, E3).
I hope you have a very long evening. I took DPreview pages just to show all the optionsI hope to spend a happy evening fiddling with it and checking out the menus.
all the best
For focus tracking looks like the Nikon 1 is the best game in town.The review says the focus tracking on the OM-D is very disappointing. Too bad - I thought I could use it for fast moving sports. I have written a review of the NEX-7 with the phase adapter as a sports camera that will appear soon on stevehuffphoto.com.
Unfortunately, the frame rate of the Nikon 1 is 5 fps while focusing, but an impressive 10, 30 or 60 fps while focus is locked, but it takes between 23 and 86 seconds to clear the buffer after 1-3 seconds of shooting. That's a non-starter.For focus tracking looks like the Nikon 1 is the best game in town.
I don't want to hijack the thread but did you test J1 or V1? The buffers are very different.Unfortunately, the frame rate of the Nikon 1 is 5 fps while focusing, but an impressive 10, 30 or 60 fps while focus is locked, but it takes between 23 and 86 seconds to clear the buffer after 1-3 seconds of shooting.

Hi Toddfwiw this is a really fun camera. I like the 12-50 a lot though I had to stumble on some operation options (manual...what's that?!?!). The macro feature is cool, and being able to choose between regular zoom operation and a "power zoom" is nice - at least they give you the option. I've been *really* impressed with the 25/1.4 and the 45/1.8 reminds me of Pentax ltd lenses. My g/f likes the touchscreen focus/shutter option and I like the EVF since I don't have to don reading glasses to shoot using that.
My main gripe with the E-P1 was AF speed and some operation quirks. Same with the NEX-5N. I have no complaints about the AF on the OMD. I'm sure I'll run into some quirks - and I wish it had pull focus in video via the touchscreen. But so far so good.
Ditto - my feelings and situation exactlyMy other camera is a Leica M9....., and after an initial rough and ready outing today I would tend to agree with DPR. The OM-D doesn't feel out of place against a FF setup with the worlds best lenses, different sure, but ethos very much the same. Tomorrow I will try my 4/3 HG lenses to compare with the 12-50mm kit lens, but I'm happy so far.
