What E-P3 should have...

... instead of that (for me) ultra useless built in flash.

um, so what should it have?

That's actually a really interesting idea! Would be brilliant if that swappable VF could ever be implemented in that way.

No, there will not be a built in viewfinder. Keep hope alive.

I agree. But it'll definitely come. Word has it Panasonic will release their 'built-in evf model' this year.

Yeah, somehow I can't get excited over anything that Panasonic put out there.

I know that feel bro, they're like plastic blobs in terms of design.
I think the e-p3 is probably the camera that the e-p1/e-p2 should have been, so now that they've corrected it, hopefully the pro-cam will be underway and ready to launch soon. I mean - how far can it be? They've already launched the 12mm which is the first 'pro' or super high grade lens for the system, and the 45mm is coming up quickly too!

It's gotta be soon. Within the year...

I definitely miss my e-p1, especially now that I've moved to a real city. The 5d is so chunky to just carry around with me...

Gavin, E-P2 is now cheap.

Or find a disillusioned X100 user in the city and offer to relieve him of his misery 😀
