And I am loving this camera! It has the same sensor as the D5 and processing engine of the D1. It doesn't have the 5 axis IS of those two, but the 3 axis IS it does have does a pretty good job. It does have a built in flash and wifi that my smart phone can use to control the camera and download pics to it.
I am attaching 3 pics I shot with it yesterday when downtown. the 1st 2 were taken in an antique store the 3rd was shot outside. I had the camera setup in P and auto ISO as I wanted to see how the camera handled noise in high ISO shooting. I am very pleased as the 2 inside shots were taken at ISO 1600. All shots are JPEGs straight out of the camera with no PP done to them except for resizing.

Congrats and best of luck with your new toy. I pre-ordered mine with a 25 1.8 the last week in February and according to B&H, it won't get here until April. Can't wait:(

You will love this camera!
I found a vendor on ebay that had it in stock and he got it to me in 2 days. I got the silver one, as it has the retro look of the old Olympus OMs. I am using the lenses I have with my E-PL1 with it now ( Olympus 14-42mm, 40-150mm and a Panasonic 45-200mm). I am getting the Olympus 45mm f1.8 for it next, as all the reviews say it is a good sharp lens.
If you need a case for it, I just got one from Cameta Camera that is made for the M4/3s cameras. It's a smaller version of a messenger bag by Olympus, it was only $15 and some change +shipping. It's just the right size for this camera, 2 lenses and accessories. Nicely made and padded.

Yes, I am really looking forward to the EM-10. How do you like the Oly 40-150. I would like to get something in this range as well. Thanks for the tip on the messenger bag from Cameta. I think that I will be using my Lowepro Exchange messenger bag that I got new for $20 awhile back. I don't think they make it anymore but are selling an improved version of it now, for more than double the price.

The Oly 40-150 is not a bad lens considering it's cost (around $150 new). It is sharper at the tele end than I expected it to be. Or you could get the Pany 45-200mm tghat gives you a little more reach and in my opinion is a little sharper at the tele end that the Oly.
I attached a pic taken with the Pany 45-200 zoomed all the way out to 200mm.

Great photo, very sharp and terrific bokeh. What is the price and size difference between the Oly 40-150 and Pany 45-200? Pany has a 40-140 as well, I believe. I also ordered the add-on grip for the EM-10. Will see if it makes a difference. Can always return it. The Lowepro bag I have is the Exchange not Event.

I don't know the exact price of the Pany 45-200. Retailed at about $400 when it 1st came out, should be able to find it cheaper than that now. It is about an inch longer than the Oly 40-150 and is heavier due to it being made of metal instead of plastic.
Your Lowepro case looks a lot like the Oly case I got, except the Oly case has a zippered compartment under the flap.

In that the Pany has stabilization built in, how is it affected by by EM-10 3 axis stabilization. Do you turn of IS in Pany?

Yeah, not too bad at 1600 ISO, 1/80 sec. Handheld
