Another question is, is there a way to have the camera automatically create daily or monthly folders?

I haven't been able to find the option and they're all thrown into the same folder for now. Would be helpful is possible.

Since you'll require Olympus Viewer 3 (OV3) to do Panorama stitching, you can also use it to organise your photos by putting them in subfolders based on the date (YYYY_MM_DD) upon import. There are also options to rename the files during import but there aren't as many options as something like Lightroom.

And if you're considering shooting RAW, OV3 uses the same JPEG engine on the camera. It's slower than LR5 (which I use to import my photos) but since I prefer the "Olympus Colours" from OOC JPEGs and OV3, I put up with it and it runs acceptably on my PC (quad-core with 6GB of RAM).

Check this blog to see samples of the E-PM2 sensor and OV3 for street shooting:

I also own a couple of ART series Sigma primes and haven't noticed any differences in focus speed compared to the 14-42 IIR and 40-150 lenses I used to own. I was actually slower on the 14-42 since I always forgot to unlock the lens first

The Sigma 30 is also more quiet than the 14-42 in AF-C video which was suprising. I'll be getting my hands on another 14-42, I might try it again.
