Ray, I was playing with the EPL-1 this evening and I think the NEX is easier for me to navigate, too. On the Oly I tend to push buttons by accident and to push the wrong button trying to change settings. Also, the EPL-1 and NEX are so different in the way you control both shooting and review of images that it's not easy going back and forth between them. However, I love the Oly colors and art filters, as well as the very useful little flash and the optional viewfinder. For me the Oly with its flash (and the Panny 20mm) is great for family photos indoors, and I'm not yet sure the NEX will be. Its flash seems near worthless to me since I can't even make it stay on the camera so far, and I don't find the white balance easy to work with indoors. However, I need a lot more practice with the NEX, including Handheld Twilight, before I reach a conclusion on that. I'm most excited about NEX image quality, including high ISO performance, fine detail, and dynamic range ( I left Auto DRO on and it seems to help). I would have bought it much sooner if it hadn't been criticized so much in forums. I do hope they give us a better flash and a viewfinder option for those who like VFs, and as Olli pointed out, we could use a firmware upgrade to make HDR easier to access, esp. when you usually shoot RAW. I've been a Nikon user since 1979 and never dreamed I would be gushing about Sony, but they appear to be one to watch because they're so innovative. The A33 and A55 look very interesting, too.
