Re: Possible EX1r/EX3 replacement this year?
 

Hmmm,...I wonder why the box was labeled "EX3/5".

Re: Possible EX1r/EX3 replacement this year?
 

Well, my EX3 was an EX3/4 in June last year, so just the normal incremental change of firmware I suspect?

In my experience, the latest is not always the greatest: until I purchased my EX3 last year, I was using an up-to-date, 'state of the art' and newly designed camera and actually I prefer the EX3, so changes will have to be very substantial to be an improvement on the here and now model.
