I was waiting for this announcement before I wanted to decide to get the 25 1.4, since I hoped the new camera would be bundled with that lens. I guess now I have to decide to get the 25 standalone or not.If they really want to differentiate themselves then I'd offer this camera with the new Leica 25/1.4 as a bundle which would give it a competitive edge.

I'm quite interested in the 45/1.8 but I wouldn't ever sell my 45/2.8. Quite extraordinary draw to that lens. I think there is a case for owing both.I was afraid you were going to say that. And in fact, I've made up my mind already, especially since the older version was one of my favorites FourThirds lens. I just got the E-P3 and 12f2 (to replace an E-P2 and 9-18) and the 25 1.4 (definitely an addition to the 20 1.7) and maybe the 45 1.8 (don't know yet if it will replace the PL45 2.8 macro, or be an addition, or won't be added) will be next. Resistance is futile.
Hi TerryI think if you were averse to the G3 because of the EVF then this is a good camera. I like my G3 and don't want to go back to an external finder.
I do think that Panasonic has failed to break any new ground with the camera. For instance adding focus peaking or something similar.
an excellent concept, hadn't heard of or thought of this before,but I'd willingly swap that on screen histogram for a similar sized focus peek on the focus point.I do think that Panasonic has failed to break any new ground with the camera. For instance adding focus peaking or something similar.
