Olympus E-pl2 body only;

17mm f/2.8 lens with optical VF-1 view finder for street shooting;

Hmm. I haven't really considered the smaller Olympus bodies mainly due to thinking a more rugged camera would be better.

Does this camera have other advantages besides it's smaller size? How good is it for video? I need catching up.

Would size be more important for this type of shooting than the other advantages an OM-D E-M5 would have?
