I noticed Jessops in London pushing them today so I went in to have a look. The Olympus demonstrators were there so I played with one. It's quite nice, reasonable build quality, lovely size and design but what kills it stone dead for me is that there is no viewfinder except the screen on the back, which I can only see properly if I put my reading glasses on, so it's a big no-no for me unfortunately, and I told the man from Olympus. I also told him that I own an E-1 and an E-500, and made sure he saw my M8 so he knew they'd really lost a likely sale by that omission.
