For the record, my wife neither laughed nor congratulated me on the purchase...

Telling her about it was probably your first mistake...

True!
It doesn't really work with my wife as she seems to have a highly developed sixth sense for any electronics or camera purchases. My plan for the OM-D is to build a small pyramid (cardboard, gaffer tape, matte black spray paint) on top of my E-P3's hotshoe. I will gradually increase the height of the pyramid until it is the same time height as the E-M5's just in time for my preorder to ship. I think I can then swap in the E-M5!

Genius!! Except I don't have an EP3. So I'll use the EP2 instead!
I don't have an x100 any longer, but the IQ/file quality this camera produces is among the finest of aps-c sensor cameras. I'm a fan of Ricoh cameras and always had one since the GX100 and presently a GRDIII and GRX are in my bag. However, IQ wise the X100 runs circles around the GRD IV, and it does so "blindfolded, one legged and fully drunk", it's a different league. Maybe you confused the X100 with the smaller sensor X10? Though even the latter one has a superior sensor and better IQ when compared to the GRDIV.

This morning just before noon, an earthquake was recorded on the seismometer at the weather station near my house. It coincided with my wife's opening the door to receive a certain package from the FedEx delivery person....

Sounds like it was extremely localized!
And I think it was Doug's old X10.
