I would not worry about their review. The review says "because the lens has a poor image stabilizer"... Maybe someone failed to realize the camera has in body sensor stabilization and that Olympus cameras do not have lens stabilizers.

I agree with this. While I DON'T agree with the folks who are generally bashing the Consumer Reports ability to evaluate cameras, as I think that they generally do a pretty good job of it, I do think this was clearly a case of someone not having the settings correctly set on the camera, and failing to realize that the Olympus lenses are unstabilized because the body takes care of that function.

Consumer Reports has no problem bashing the products they test or the companies that make them. I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember the Suzuki Samurai. It was a small scale version of a Jeep Wrangler. and very popular until Consumer Reports labeled it a roll-over death trap. The end result was Suzuki had to stop making Samurais and replaced it with the Sidekick. Years later, Government accident statistics showed that there was nothing wrong with the Samurai and the worst vehicles for roll-overs were small GM and Ford pick-up trucks. Somehow, Consumer Reports never noticed that. Ever try to buy one of their top rated appliances. On a number of times of trying to buy one of their top-rated appliances, retailers responded that these models were no longer made.
