Congratulations Al. I love mine even more now after several months of ownership. Five others in our astro society alone have now also bought the OM-D.
I have three Zuiko fast primes - 12mm f/2, 45mm f/1.8 and 75mm f/1.8, which are simply fantastic. Rated by many as good as any Canon or Nikon lenses available. The 75mm is a complete corker. So are the others, come to think of it. The standard 12-50mm zoom, (being weather proofed) is also a very good performer in its own right - especially for video with the silent motorised zoom.
Once you wrap your head around its configurability, you'll start to mould it to your shooting style. The 5-axis in-body stabilisation and LiveTime (gradual iterative exposure control) and focus peaking are my favourites. It's so full of useful features that it's hard to say where to begin, and makes you wonder why other cameras don't have many of them.
Combined with my Sony RX1, the OM-D will stay with me for a long time. If Olympus releases the OM-D E-M6 soon I might update to that, but otherwise I'm entirely satisfied with the E-M5 as it is.
