The first Micro 4/3ds camera

Well, here it is. Don't know why they made it look exactly like a DSLR (ugly), but it seems like a pretty damned cool camera nevertheless.

Oh for chrissake...there is nothing in the fake prism "hump"...Panasonic's research indicated that people wanted it to look like a "regular camera." That is really depressing.

That said, with this and the LX3, it seems as though Panasonic is making a big push to become the people who make the interesting, high-quality compact cameras. Personally I'll be waiting for something that doesn't look like a DSLR...

Oh hell, I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was being discussed in the other thread already. Feel free to lock it.
