GF3 with standard lens selling for RM 1.7 k. This is PnS price range.
Is the pancake zoom available yet with the GF3?

The smart alex DR trying to be funny. Instead of rm1000 deposit
she state Price RM1000 to attract attention.

1.The OM-D is quite tiny compared to the SLR of the 70's and 80's. The width
is only 122mm compared to the smallest old school slr the Nikon FG which is
136mm.
2.Another thing is the 12-50mm lens which is already so long and look odd. Will the
lens extend further when zoomed to maximum?
3.This camera will be great with the panasonic 14m f2.5 I think. Something
to save up for
4.Many good product shot here:-

Are you sure that lens can be used since its image stabiliser has no on/off switch?
I am just wondering what will happen when both lens and camera body has their
own image stabiliser as in this case.

Will Panasonic come out with this pair this year? Both constant f2.8 will
be great for OM-D.

Can we turn off the lens IS instead since the OM-D has a high tech
5 axis IS ?

I have been looking at the OMD user manual here

http://www.olympus.co.jp/...imsg/digicamer...d/man_em5_e.pdf

and notice that shooting functions are completely menu driven. Not a single direct button.
All functions on one "super control panel" is cool though like the Q button in fuji X1pro

It is 6 buttons if u get the 1250 lens plus the optional battery grip but without any markings
difficult to remember 6 buttons though . If I am not wrong the standard body
has 2 Fn buttons and 1 video button which can be assigned.
As for street price I think body only will be less than 3K (USD999)maybe 2.8k hopefully
The 1250 lens is too long. I plan to get this and use with pana 14mm and 20mm.

Found this well produced review for OM-D

I am considering this lens for my future Olympus OM-D but is concerned about the foll:
1. can the lens IS be switched off when used on the Oly.
2. Reports of softness at the long end.
3. reports that zooming causes wobbling of lens
