[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 469995, member: 13248"] One thing I miss is the corner to corner sharpness at all apertures. The interesting thing that also pushed me to the D600 was the fact that the body is lighter and smaller than the E-3. I figured gaining a big, fat sensor for less weight and bulk was pretty impressive. Yeah, I pretty much agree about waiting. The true constant with Oly bodies is that they plummet in price fairly fast, more so when new bodies are released. The E-M5 is at $499, the E-M5 II at $899 and the E-M1 at $999. Pretty good pricing at the moment. The E-M1 II would be interesting, but knowing Olympus, it will have the same sensor with all the bells and whistles off the E-M5 II. Unless the rumor floating around about a new 4/3rds BSI sensor is true & Oly winds up using that in the next release. One of my favorite features from the E-M5 was the live bulb that allowed one to physically see the progress being made of a long exposure. Everyone should have that. I also think everyone should have some form of handheld twilight like Oly and Sony do. At this point, I think I'll just throw in the towel and play the waiting game. Maybe finally pick up that Tamron 24-70 I've been wanting to finally complete my needs. [/QUOTE]
