It seems this is camera goes very well with your old manual focus Legacy lenses. Firstly, you have a wide variety of already existing Micro 4/3 adaptors available. Secondly, there is in-body image stabilization (so you're not dependent on stabilization in the glass itself). And finally, you can zoom in when focusing with a touch of a button, so no more squinting if your body doesn't allow manual focus assistance. Compelling reasons I say!
One downside is that you won't be able to use the Art filters in Manual or Priority modes since the Art mode is only accessible via the dial.

Price? Roughly USD$600 (with lens? I'm not certain).
