seems like pretty big news in the m43 world, thought i'd share.

some reviews:

personally i think this is going to be a good release. small body, (moderate) weather sealing, lightweight, it all plays to the strengths of the portability of m43 and they still managed to cram in ibis and an evf. got solid specs all around for a reasonable price, too. honestly shocked it didn't end up being the same price as the om-5. i just suspect a lot of people are going to compare this to the pen f and feel disappointed, even though they're sort of in different ranges. it definitely has compromises (plastic construction, outdated video quality, slow sd speed, fewer ports), but it's really hard to beat that price.

probably would've bought this as my first travel camera if it was available back in the day. debating if i should get this used at some point...
