I am awful tempted to buy this, even though I just bought my GH2 in December, and sold my Nikon D300. Absolutely nothing wrong with the GH2 - other than I haven't won a ribbon with it yet! ;) - but the E-M5 looks very nice. I would love having a camera with a metal body again, and living in a rainy environment, I think the fact that it's weather sealed (with the kit lens anyway) is a real plus. I think I will wait for some actual reviews to see how it stacks up speed wise against my GH2. If it really can autofocus as fast as they claim, and have AF-C that can track moving subjects really well, it's going to be hard to say no to this one.
On the other hand, Panasonic will hopefully be announcing some new fast 2.x zooms soon, which I've heard rumored will sell for about the same as the new Olympus. A nice relatively fast AF zoom lens would be very nice for a walk around lens on my upcoming cruise.
