I think your price comparison is a little off. The 14-42 power zoom is unique and not realistically part of the equation. With the manual 14-42, which is a more realistic comparison, its substantially less expensive than either the NX200 (which can't take an EVF) or the Olympus which can but has visibly lower resolution. Where the Oly takes the race is in esthetics - ya gotta admit, the Oly is a charmer.

I own it. Extraordinary quality and performance. If price is an issue but the LX5..quite good as well.
