Those images give me hope for increased ISO performance over the E-P3. In regard to the 12-50mm kit lens, the slowness did not thrill me either (would love to see a 12-60mm f/4 come out); however, the fact that it is 2mm wider and the reviews saying it is better than the 14-42 kit lens, the fact it is weather sealed and that it cost $300 more for the kit vs. $500 for the lens if bought separately were factors that contributed to my decision. If I really hate the lens then I figure I can always sell it and make at least $300 off it...
