E-5 is not built on the philosophy of Canon or Nikon, which mainly cares about High ISO and AF points. For me the more AF points you get the less accuracy in getting the exact focusing point you want because computer is unable to think like human and camera can not predict exactly where you want to focus at. What you need is enough focus point not to have 61 points. I don’t believe that Olympus is unable to implement 100 points AF system but what’s the point. 

And, put the High ISO and AF points aside, can this $1000 less camera you have suggested be used under the extreme weather? Does it has magnesium built quality? Is it as shock proof as E-5? Does it have 150,000 shutter reliance? Can it produce as beautiful JPG as E-5 straight out of machine? Can its low ISO be as good as E-5? Don’t forget that E-5 with its HG and SHG lens is even able to match if not beat Nikon D4 in low ISO such as 100 hence, I wouldn’t say E-5 is easily outclassed by anything. The only thing E-5 is being outclassed is not being able to follow Canon or Nikon’s camera philosophy (such as Sony) which is sadly focus on high ISO and AF points and if photography world is only left with high ISO and AF points dominated by Canon and Nikon’s marketing myth that would certainly be quite sad, doesn’t it?Yes, we can see Olympus is moving towards Canon-Nikon philosophy more but still they have kept their distinct characters. And I hope their keep its distinctiveness like Apple has done. If Apple has changed it’s philosophy be like totally Window like, I don’t think they can be as unique as today. 

Their OOC Jpegs are excellent.

The second advert (Stuntman) is clever, but, something is missing.
