My local dealer has two EP1 kits to demo and I took him up on it today. Feels good in the hand. Great size. Certainly consumer grade. Files look good. It really needs a VF. LCD is ok but not great. It's menus are very much like my wife's 420. Looks to me like they have something to work with, but they had better get the pro unit out soon. The competition is working hard. Mine will be here in 2 weeks. The rep could not tell me much that we don't already know. It's not the CL we were looking for but closer than anything we have now. The 14-42 kits lens is really weird! -Durr
