Extremely interesting samples... o_0
Anyway, seems like a great stills camera, but the price is crazy. Should've cost 1500euro WITH the damn lens.
Beautiful camera , but it's almost the same price as a 6d ! For video, olympus had a chance and blew it.
With a free hld-7 battery grip if taken within 30 september. Still simply too much.
Euro price seems to be 1499 EUR.
Time for everyone to get the e-m5.
About 43 lenses. magic didn't happened:
We spent some time shooting with a selection of Four Thirds lenses, including the 14-54mm F3.5-5.6 II and 12-60mm F2.8-4, to get a feel for how well the E-M1 is able to really support Four Thirds users. Our experiences were fairly positive, but only when seen from a 'DSLR trying to do live view' perspective, since the situation is comparable (a camera trying to focus a PDAF-optimized lens, without a standalone PDAF sensor). Focus is usually acceptably fast, though anyone coming from an E-3 or E-5 is likely to find themselves disappointed, in comparison.
The way see it is this: if you're a Four Thirds lens owner and you're expecting full DSLR performance, you're going to be disappointed. However, if you want a camera that offers a considerable step up in image quality, that allows you to continue to take great images with your existing lenses and welcomes you into an impressive and growing new system, then you'll be delighted.
I updated first post.
That combo price is cheaper than what I paid for my GH3 + 12-35mm

I will do the same!
@Renovatio - EM-5, Video and IBIS is great, right. I will replace my OM-D E-M5 only if there is 1080/60p Oly OM-D
Well, i not agree with who said the Em-5 is not for video. 24p is important, better than 30p, but not far better, we're there, and sometimes 30p can do more. The Ibis is so good, is so great. Yes, there are problems, but i choose the Em-5 for video and ibis
So far I only seen 2 Pro Panasonic shooter vs dozens of Olympus Pro shooter (mostly E-M5) in terms of stills. The number is still tiny compare to Canikons but with the E-M5 there are definitely more pro convert to M43 for still
Epic failed... again.
It is still not movie oriented camera.
Then that is their mistake. M4/3s has gained a lot more acceptability in the Pro video market than it has in the Pro Photography market.
Yeah, but with a little bit better codec - G6-wise specs, for example - it could sell a lot more cameras without compromising its still side.
