Quite a few polarised opinions here!

I think one of the biggest weaknesses vs the other systems is the lack of an EVF or OVF - every other system there at least has the option of an EVF in one form or another. Perhaps it's a gen 2 feature or a different model down the track.

I agree, about OVF/EVF, but it is particularly important to more advanced photographers but it is only one of many limitations.

I think the biggest appeal will be for existing Canon DSLR users - it will be sticking with what is familiar and the opportunity to use existing lenses with full functionality via the adapter is great.

Here is where I disagree - it is just as useless for Canon shooters as it is to everybody else. Why would you buy a new camera which is less powerful than the one you have, does not give you any new capability and (together with an extra adapter shaves only a few grams from the weight of your system? If I was a Canon shooter, this camera would be a nonstarter.

On the plus side though, when paired with the 22mm lens lens, what you do end up with is a souped-up compact with DSLR IQ, a nice bright fixed focal length lens, super-fast AF (To Be Confirmed) in a relatively compact package.

Ah, you mean a GX1 at higher cost and without the later camera sophistication?
