Hello Olympus, good for camera and photo

I've bought about a dozen Lumixes in my life. I think they are amazing bulletproof cameras. One day my father went snorkeling with one in his pocket. In the sea water. He even worked (several hours) after his return. I took it apart and it was amazing inside, layers of Japanese circuitry like jewels encased in a thin metal shell. I recently had one that stopped working after a few weeks and Panasonic was not honoring its advertised warranty. It was made in China. I mention this because as soon as I unpacked the thing, it reminded me of a Chinese SUV. There are sharp corners everywhere. It's bulky and oversized. It's awkward. it is inelegant. He's square. He's square. The landing isn't quite right. You want it to fit in your hand, but it just can't. The flash sticks out above the body with shiny sharp corners. The viewfinder sticks out about 3/4" from the back. To be honest (and I'm not someone who cares about such things) this thing looks gross. Its online photos are misleading. Every corner looks, like she's about to rip a hole through your clothes I hate to say it but after two decades of loyalty many thousands of dollars in Panasonic products with no guarantees and then this monster I think Lumix is done Panasonic is a fantastic Japanese one Company. I am satisfied with the Japanese design made in China. I do not agree with a product that appears to have been developed by hackers from a child's drawing of a complex camera. It looks like a Frakenstein made from parts of a camera and a cylinder block from the 1980's. I unwrapped it and then put it back in. I think it takes pictures, maybe fantastic. I don't know because I'll never use it. I'm sending it back and hope that nice sharp bottom plate doesn't blow a hole in the box on the way back to Revane. I will have a Nikon DSLR as long as I live. I am happy to be able to use all these 4/3 lenses on my new Olympus.
