So I want a compact system with lots of bright prime lenses with convenient manual focusing (complete with distance and DOF scales). Oly and Fuji are the only systems that seem to fit this criteria.

Of course, despite living in an urban area with over 5.1 million people, I can't find a single camera shop or electronic store within a 25 km radius of my house that actually stocks either the Olympus E-P5 or Fujifilm X-Pro1. Just another example of why I hate living in Canada.
The oly's are top notch. Probably the fastest AF system out there right now. Pretty accurate from what Ive seen. I think youll like it. The have some decent lenses in the line up now too.
