Ain't it? I moved from the OM-4T to my M7. There's nothing like M 
shutter and VF, but the OM / E-System are quite nice.

The E-420 a) answers critics like Mark who wonders why 4/3 cameras 
are so big, and b) should really give the Sigma DP-1 a run for the 
money: interchangable lens, a full stop faster, optical VF and LV, 
higher ISO at a size not much bigger. I think this spells the death 
of the DP-1.
