Nathan,
            I have (a soon to be sold) Canon 40D setup including canon 70-200 
zoom lens, Tokina 12-24 and Canon 60mm Macro. This basic kit with flash and 
other odds and ends is FAR too heavy and cumbersome for me to carry all day. As 
a result it gets minimal use. I bought a Panasonic GH2 and I have been Very 
impressed. Good quality 14-45 kit lens, excellent 20mm f1.7 lens, good 
touchscreen on the camera and acceptable electronic viewfinder. Gets almost 
daily use.
As a result of this I have invested in an Olympus OM-D 5m along with 12-50mm 
kit lens and an Olympus OM to micro 4/3 adapter. Adapter is expensive but will 
allow me to use my extensive macro kit of lenses, bellows and extension tube. I 
just hope Adorama co-operates with UPS and sends it to Wyoming by Tues before 
we head off to Montana for a family wedding.
I have not used Adorama before, Hope things work out...would have used B+H but 
they are awaiting stock and we are travelling all over.

Regards
John Duggan,

But no optical viewfinder means (for me) that it is at best a handlebar bag 
camera.

Cheers,
Nathan
