I'm really happy with mine. Have an E620 and was really looking to upgrade. Al the Olympus corporate turmoil, they continued to use the 12mp sensor that was clearly not competitive, ... I starting looking at things like the D60, D7, and D7000. But when I really analyzed what I wanted I wanted smaller, lighter, less intrusive rather than bigger and heavier. Then I found myself wishing for just an E-P3 upgrade with the 16mp Panasonic sensor. When the E-M5 was released I thought this one really tics almost all of the boxes designating my needs. And the reviews were very positive about the new sensor. IQ blows the E620 out of the water in any tricky light. I can wrap it in some neoprene and toss it and an extra lens in a day pack and I'm off. Is it perfect? No. Are there some little niggles I'd change? Yes. But I have zero buyers remorse. I fully believe it's the best camera currently available for MY needs.
