    In reply to Rumor: Mirrorless Ricoh Camera, Interchangeable Lenses Coming November 10
    It looks like there's going to be an explosion of these types of cameras over the next year. It makes buying one feel a bit risky, because every company is in overdrive trying to outdo the camera that came out previous. Unfortunately, they all seem to compromise in one way or another. I went ahead and ordered a GH1, because it seems to be closest to what I want. I'm pretty excited to see what Ricoh can do with this though, considering their mastery (so I've heard) of ergonomics. #ricoh

    @iomatic (I know I'm an idiot, but I'll comment anyway): I'm puzzled as well.

    I've looked into a couple of the smaller ones, and seriously thought about the E-P1, but then heard the GF1 would arrive soon. Both the E-P1 and the GF1 suffered from something I thought was an obvious oversight: Lack of a hotshoe flash and viewfinder support at the same time. I also found the EVF lacked necessary resolution to rival an optical VF, and I could not get used to relying on the LCD. It's a very odd standard, definitly not as versatile as I had been led to believe. #olympusep2

    @Lizard_King: I definitely agree with the optical viewfinder as an important feature that is lacking. When I heard Olympus was already working on an E-P2 I hoped for one, but alas, not yet.

    Don't both these 4/3 cameras have a hot shoe right on top though? While a flash doesn't come with it, you could always buy one separately. (please correct me if I'm wrong) #olympusep2

    @James Philip: The EP1 and 2 and the GF1 all have hotshoe, and while the EP2 and GF1 have an electronic viewfinder, it covers the hotshoe. I say covers because I haven't gotten my hands on the EVF modules yet to see if they do interface with the hotshoe as the GF1 has a port in back of the hotshoe for EVF mounting. I'm guessing that the EVF makes no electrical connection to the hotshoe, but again, that is a guess.

    One point to note, the m4/3 standard does not allow for an optical viewfinder - it must be electronic. That being said, I'm gonna punch the next person to tout Live View as a feature on the m4/3 cameras - it is necessary, not a feature.

    Honestly, I like the comparison to rangefinder cameras - and hate it when these cameras are listed as if they have all of the features of an SLR in a smaller case. I'd think that most of the consumers purchasing this would already have an SLR. I might actually get a GF1, but would prefer to have electronic viewfinder and hotshoe flash at the same time. #olympusep2

    That was... fast.
    Sounded more like a response to GF1 than a refresh, but the faster these beauties advance, the better!

    I'm in between now... viewfinder is a must for me, and now both have it.

    I see movie recording also got a manual shutter/apperture too.

    Flash could be useful but not that important.

    And there's the in body IS... #olympusep2

    "...with 17mm f2.8 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens and EVF: $1100"

    Sorry to be pedantic, but the 17mm isn't a zoom. That's why it's called "17mm" and not "17-xxmm, or yy-17mm"! #olympusep2

    I would love a camera like this as an alternative to my SLRs.

    Onboard flash sucks anyway. Plus, it has 4 stop image stabilization. Using the 1/focal length rule of thumb, you could presumably hand hold at 1/4th of a second on the 17mm lens (Convert to 17mm to 34mm for 35mm equivalent; 1/30th - 1/15th - 1/8th - 1/4th). While the four-thirds sensor is not quite as large as an APS-C, it is MUCH larger than standard point and shoot cameras. This would yield much better high ISO performance. Assuming it has the same ISO capabilities of the E-P1, that would be 100-6400. And even if you limit yourself to say, 1600ISO, I cannot imagine many situations in which 1/4th f/2.8 @ ISO1600 wouldn't suffice. #olympusep2

    well, most any situation with a human being in it... unfortunately, image stabilization can't freeze your subject :) #olympusep2
