It\'s yet another dumb design decision on Olympus\' part. Sometimes I wonder if any actual photographers work in their R&D department. On my Panasonic DMC-GX1 it\'s no problem because the release cable plugs in to the other side of the camera. I guess Olympus\' positioning is due to not putting the memory card slot in the battery compartment like Panasonic does.
Thanks for pointing this out. I have just canceled my pre-order for the RRS L-bracket. Light as this camera is and light as the lenses are, I will just flop the head over into the 90 degree slot. I don\'t normally like to do that, but due to this dumb design of Olympus\', I think it\'s the way I will go with this camera.
