micro43 gt shutter count or not ?
*
why not...

This is how to see shutter count on E-PL1:

Camera should be off, then:
1. press and hold the menu button and then press power on
2. enter menu and go to lcd brightness menu
3. press "info", then "ok",
4. repeat step 3 one more time, olympus interface info will appear (
5. press in sequence... up, down, left, right, shutter, up
6. voila! shutter count is in page 2 (R = xxxxx)

others models should be different..

The kit 18-55mm that comes together with the body is still 18-55mm for the m4/3, right?

All m4/3 lens can be used on any m4/3 body, or Oly must be with Oly, Pana must be with Pana?
*
usually the kit zoom is 14-42mm (28-84mm equivalent)...
Lenses can used among oly and pana....
however, certain features wont work (non-essential ones)...

i know my e-pl1's TTL flash wont work when i put 20mm f1.7 on it...

All lens can shot portrait, depends how they are been used ...
20mm lens is a sweet lens ... in full frame terms 40mm ...
*
yeah..depends on what type of portrait you wanna take...
20mm is fine for environmental portrait...
if you wanna short face only portrait, then you have to get real close to the subject then distortion will be pronounced...

not reli a must but just some extra features coz it allow me choose focusing point and snap in the speed of light rather then press left and right 1 by 1 using button.

base on my own understanding, crop factor is all refer to 35mm format.

for eg dslr with 1.5x crop factor when mount on 18mm lens, it actually is 18mm X 1.5 = 27mm in 35mm format

for m4/3 crop factor is 2 where the kit lens 14mm actually is 14 X 2 = 28mm in 35mm format

for nikon 1 with 2.7x crop factor where 10mm kit lens = 27mm in 35mm format.

compact camera with 1/2.2" sensor usually have 5.5x factor

for dslr, they have their own lens for Full frame. Eg Nikon for DX (crop sensor) and FX (full frame = 35 mm eq) lens

picture speaks a thousand words...
by using the full frame sensor as reference, the field of view (FOV) of other sensors are relative to full frame...
at the same focal length, the 1.6x APS-C sensor FOV is as if cropped when compared to full frame...hence crop factor...

Any of you guys have any thoughts about the sony NEX-7? I'm so being tempted to forego my entire ep-3 system for the NEX 7. What you guys think?

it's a great camera...only trade off is the overall size (body + lens) and lens selection...
