If the face detect on the OMD impressed you, you should take a look at the
Sony slt a77. On face detect mode, it seemed to me like some kind of
science fiction movie thing, with the bonus that the viewfinder
resolution, size, lack of flicker, and brightness isn't shamed by a full
frame slr. With the OMD, you know you're looking through an EVF. With
the Sony, you feel like a fighter pilot with a complex "heads up" display.
Not sure if it helps with photography much (and in a lot of cases it
probably detracts from it), but the geek factor is very high.

I might try one sometime, but since Sony is likely to stop production
anyway, there's zero chance of me buying into their system. I'll just wait
for Canon to catch up with a better AF system, that's why I'm skipping the
5D3, not enough improvement over the 5D2 to justify the price IMO, not all
the features I'd like, and not as good as the Nikon D800 for more money :-(
In the meantime I have no real problem taking the photo's I, and my clients,
desire already.
