Perhaps. They just took the hand off the innovation. :ROTFL:

You're more observant than I am LOL--yes, how DO you set aperture, shutter, EC?. Would the mic be for the video--which I read is the same as the EP-2??I see no front wheel, and also no rear wheel. Is the photographer supposed to leave it all to automatic, or press series of buttons for anything to happen?
Also, is that a mic at the rear? Voice annotation?
I'm seeing quite a reduced set of options on that top wheel too ... perhaps there's some reasons for it to be priced so agressively low.You're more observant than I am LOL--yes, how DO you set aperture, shutter, EC?. Would the mic be for the video--which I read is the same as the EP-2??

But at the back of the camera? It's not a pro video model, but...(...)

I have the ZD9-18. It's a good performer and covers my WA needs, which are limited. But, some WA in the bag is bordering to "must have".(...)
I am however really interested in that 9-18 ... mine's goin on Ebay tomorrow ... so if anyone one wants a 9-18 with an MA-1 and low milage ...
That makes sense. Lol, a camera with a speaker... I didn't think about that (which of course shows my age).I think the circle of holes on the rear of the cam is the speaker.

Surely the point of it is a cheap way in to m4/3 . . . and that seems like a fine idea to me.Honestly, I really don't see the point of this camera. If THIS is their interpretation of "you cannot spot innovation" I really wish they COULD stop innovation.
Ah, mine too. I wasn't thinking--mic on the back--don't think so.That makes sense. Lol, a camera with a speaker... I didn't think about that (which of course shows my age).

That's rather my feeling. Sort of the Rebel of the m4/3rds world. The only thing that makes me wonder about timing is the possibility of annoying (perhaps stronger than that) EP-2 purchasers. It crosses my mind how many of those might have chosen this one and don't need some of the options left off of this model.Surely the point of it is a cheap way in to m4/3 . . . and that seems like a fine idea to me.
My thoughts exactly! There's nothing I'd like more than an m4/3 body with in-camera stablilization and I very much doubt I'll get one from Panasonic. But Olympus seem to have an uncanny knack for creating cameras and lenses that hold zero appeal for me. If they offered the kind of high-end model that Scho describes I'd buy one in an instant, regardless of the cost.Sigh... When I see companies moving down the ladder with their product releases I get worried that perhaps they don't think that m43 is system worthy. Where is the high end body with built-in high res EVF, rotating LCD, weather sealing, improved sensor, and some supporting top notch glass. C'mon Olympus and Panasonic - enough with the toy camera releases and micro-incremental mid/low end model improvements every 6 months.
