Overall the camera shocked me in a good way. Its fun and enjoyable to use. Glad to knock the dust off my m4/3 lenses and have a body worthy of using them on. I put much more in writing on the camera here:

Very rational review. E-PM2, which I bought a month ago was never much reviewed, but I find it delightful.

So do I

I don't agree with the ISO thing, because it's brand specific anyway. Where Olympus has ISO 100, it has poor DR. Also I just listened to the click, and it's very soft, v. good for stealth.

Ok we dont agree.

Would have liked some notes on the pair PM2 & 17/2.8, since you use them.

Maybe I'll add some. Offhand they make a good pair and the 17 although not the sharpest lens for m4/3 is very decent. It's a bit slow to focus compared to other lenses, but its affordable, nice and relatively bright.

Cheers,

Carl
