Hi Sylvain,
A few years ago this would have been a killer feature for me. I remember hiking on the Isle of Skye (Scottish Highlands) and taking pictures in the rain with a simple AF-1 twin. I actually liked the results a lot I got from the walk. These day I don't do rain as much any more <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Have you seen [url="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/olympusEM5/images/compared-EP3.jpg"]http://www.dpreview....ompared-EP3.jpg[/url] ? I think the PEN looks nicer, but the OM-D has currently the better feature set (in particular the sensor, but also the water proof <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ). Will have to make up my mind whether to jump for an E-M5 or wait for an E-P4 or E-P5.

Hey Joachim, you might remember I went to Scotland (Arran, Skye, Lewis&Harris; you gave me advice on the hopscotch thing) too and it was also with my E-P1. I did regret my camera wasn't weather sealed as it required constant attention (bagging, wiping,sheltering...) under the ever changing Scottish weather. Since then it has been a strong requirement for my next camera, as well as a visibly improved sensor. I do prefer the PEN curves, especially the E-P3, but it just didn't give me what I've been hoping for and this one isn't too bad looking either.
That being said, it surely unveils a very nice future for E-P4 or E-P5 but I just can't wait anymore!
A silver OM-D please.
