With length & height only 0.1" more than the E-620, APS-C sensor, in-body
shake reduction, weather sealing, the K-5 does look like more of a digital
version of an OM than what Olympus has. It's sad that Olympus wasn't more
serious about building SMALL digital cameras right from the beginning. The
K-5 looks very promising.
Hopefully Olympus will build m4/3 and the Pens into a fantastic system that
everybody wants a part of.
Enjoy the K-5. It looks like a winner. It should be very pleasing.

Well, I've bought a Pentacchio K5 with a couple of lenses and they are much
lighter than the (near) equivalent of E-3, 12-60 and 50-200. The facilities
on the SLR are quite a difference from the E-3: for instance, I am quite
taken with the 2 levels and display orientation.
I have my EPL-2 to keep my Oly connection going, but I'm sad to be selling
my Oly DSLR. If the E5 had been a more manageable price, such as less than
GBP1000, I might have been tempted to stay "heavy" with the DSLR, but it's
going to take a while before that happens.
Oh well; best I get out and do good things photographic.
Chris
