Anybody out there planning to, or have ordered, the Olympus OM-D-E-M5 Four-Thirds (and what's with all the letters)?

And? I'm looking for a smaller 4/3 complement to my D7000. Is it worth the price?

From what I've seen on another forum I'm on...yes. Images are very comparable to the E5 (if I dare to say even somewhat better, gasp).

Worth every penny and more. On my way out the door will try to add more later. I also have 2 Nikon D3s FX Bodies and 13 Nikon FX Lenses. The E-M5 gives them a run for the money. Very, very pleased with E-M5

I have a spot in line with B&H Photo...No word yet when...I have 5 om zuiko 35mm lens, and an adapter to micro 4/3 camera, so I'm ready to go. I have an Oly Epl 1, and its a dandy. Only drawback is no viewfinder. Lots of interest in the new OMD...

I love it and have Battery Grip as well. Only Problem is that spare Batteries have been back ordered since release. So I have the Battery in the Battery Grip and none in the camera. Was shooting the Women's NCAA Lacrosse Finals and got low Battery warning. Battery good for about 450 shots if you don't do a lot of chimping. Really need to get second Battery but Olympus has yet to come through. Still showing as a pre-order on their Website. I have one on order through Hunt's Camera. They were able to get me the First E-M5 back in April. Just need the damn second battery.
