i recently bumped into some internet references to this camera and was very intrigued because it has a user defined lens ring that either controls focusing/zoom manually or aperture/other exposure components. its activated by a lever just under the lens that pivots on a user definable Fn button. seemed a very neat concept. plus the 28-110 zoom is a very fast 1.8-2.5zuiko, and it has an articulating touch screen that allows you to 'touch'/instant AF/shoot, like the omd, which is great for discreet street shooting. yet its supposed to be smaller than the fuji x10-20.
so i was wondrring if any members are using it, and what their experiences are with these advanced features, esp the manual focus. feel free to post results here too!
