Ahhh, you're no fun. You should post the same thing in one of the new iPad threads ..........

There's only one model of iPad. If it's iPads you want, that's the one you'll buy. There are plenty of M43 camera choices.

Seriously though, the OMD seems to have some design quirks. The placement of the viewfinder seems more form than function. There's no way I'd buy without trying it.

Particularly if I was swapping from another camera system that I'd bought into without trying, and decided I didn't like... :eek:
 
^^^ Why don't you guys actually try handling one before ordering?

Seems like a recipe for disappointment to buy without doing this.

I didn't pre-order but reserved one, so there's little risk, however even if I pre-ordered most large camera shops allow returns. Finally, I'll be handling it before plunking down my $$ :)

It helps that we have multiple cameras already along with m4/3 lenses so the risk of the purchase being a real disaster is not high. Also, despite living in an urban area we do not have a camera shop near us that stocks cameras like the OMD so we order most things camera from a on-line shop that has an excellent national reputation. It sounds like the OP has the best of all worlds, access to an early delivery of the camera and the chance to see it before purchase.
