So my OM-D finally arrived on Friday, got it with the 14-42 kit (I've used this lens before on an EPL2 and I liked it, plus its much smaller and lighter than the 12-50). So I took it out this weekend with the Pany 20 1.7 and the Oly 45 1.8. Amazing how light and small this whole kit is.
Dislikes:
- what was Oly thinking with the strap eyelet placement? That think is driving me crazy already. Has anyone here removed their's?
- I miss the focus peaking of the NEX, but with how good these m4/3 primes are and how fast and accurate the OM-D's AF is I wonder how many MF legacy primes I'll still be using.
- battery seems to drain quickly (I suspect this is due to the IBIS).
- overall, I think I prefer the EVF of the NEX over the Oly.

Congrats and thanks for sharing the images!
A few comments:
- Yes the eyelet drove me crazy also at first, but I learned to modify my hand hold slightly and now I basically ignore it - I just let the eyelet fall below the meaty part of my index finger (I don't use a camera strap). With a strap, I think I let it fall between my first and second fingers.
- Focus peaking - yeah it would be nice (for video IMO) but for still subjects, I never really used it that much - it was consistently off enough that it really rarely helped me.
- Battery drain - make sure you enable the shortest timeouts you can stand. Also, disable the auto EVF/LCD switch mode, especially if you carry the camera on a strap around your neck and walk around with it, as the EVF sensor can pick up your chest/stomach and constant activate itself.
But yeah, the battery can go quickly. I nabbed a couple of Wasabi clone batteries and so far they've performed just fine.
