Yup, I understand, in theory. In practice, for me, likely about half my long 
tele shots are close-ups, semi macro, where 
I am scratching for more DOF. Even in real long shots, I am usually looking for 
more.

I just want an E-M5 body with the added goodies. Given Oly's predilection to 
mess with design with each new Pen, that 
may be a big order.

I predicted long ago that we would have remote LCDs. Although I missed the 
camera/tablet aspect, the prediction is 
finally coming true. I'm excited, and tempted by the GX-7, but afraid other 
aspects may not please me in use.

I love articulated screens, but the idea of having it off the camera entirely 
is wonderful! I can just see balancing a 
camera on my feet, and taking a low angle shot while comfortably sitting or 
standing, making small composition 
adjustments with my feet.! :-)   How about candids?
