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:

Hi Carl. First, good to see you finally had a buyer for your LC1.  I was following that auction in complete disbelief that it took so long to sell it.  Almost changed my mind and bought it myself!  Amazing that it had to be sold for so little.

But I didn't buy it 'cause I, too, have an E-PM2 and find it to be quite a remarkable little camera, quirks and all. Purchased mine about 3 months ago.  It led me to purchasing an E-P5.  I use both cameras almost daily.  I haven't touched my larger DSLRs since owning them.

I enjoyed your review very much.  I wish other reviewers had paid more attention to the E-PM2, for it's quite an amazing little package.  Indeed, I think it's quite a bit better than "good," especially when paired with an EVF and first-rate lenses.  I've compared it to some of my older full frame Canons, like the 1Ds, and find it quite similar in IQ, but without some of the FF advantages.

So ... thanks again for the review.  I look forward to more of the same.
