What is the problem anyway ? A Live-View centric system is excellent for MF. That said AF is, of course, more convenient.

On the E-P1 specifically, it is the low resolution screen and horrible button combo to get zoomed view. And for the main native lenses, the focus by wire feels horrible too. But body IS of Olympus more than makes up for those minor flaws, which is also why Panasonic are not an option to me. And before you go there, I'm not a big fan of EVF either <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> All considered, I'm still waiting for the "ideal" mirrorless system but it is early days still.
