I don't know how the 3rd party adaptor market is going for the Sony NEX, but Samsung shot themselves in the foot when they designed the NX mount to not accept Leica lenses; I'm convinced this is a large part of the reason why the NX10 hasn't been more popular. The Sony NEX is a different kind of camera that doesn't appeal to those photographers who like buttons and hardware. I believe that the first brand to bring out an APS-C mirrorless camera like the Samsung NX10, but with the capability to take Leica M lenses via an adapter, will steal the market and rule the World with the one (focus) ring. As for Godfrey's recent purchase, Olympus certainly understand one thing that Pentax (or Canikon, 60D excepted) don't: Advanced photographers like swivel screens too. I'd love for the K-5 to have a swivel screen! Godfrey, do you plan on shooting JPEGs with the E-5? Olympus really have that going for them, their cameras produce gorgeous JPEGs.
