I do like the AF system on the panasonics, much faster than olympus' but I just can't get over the styling of the PEN's, they look so nice! Now to decide between the e-p2 and the e-pl2... Any thoughts? :)

I wouldnt imagine the D3x is a HUGE massive seller thats going to face the same level of shortage issues as the D3100, D5100, D7000, etc
