The design of the sensor, mirrorhouse, optical viefinder and LCD live view is mostly taken from the Olympus e-330. From what I have read the viewfinder is quite small and not really bright, thus not very suitable for manual focusing. There are several e-330 users on this list (B.D. comes to my mind) which can tell you more and better about this camera. You might also have a look at a e-330 in a local shop just to check out the viewfinder. The Panasonic LC is not to be expected before septembre or octobre, as well as the Leica 4/3 lenses and maybe even a Leica sister body.
