I see I can get a refurb E-PM1 w/ standard zoom lens for $150 shipped, about half what a new E-PM2 would cost. Is the PM1 a good deal? Would I be disappointed in picture quality at 8x10 size?

Thanks!

(Sorry for double post but I wasn't sure where this belonged)

I have the EPM1 and the EPL5 which is much about the same as the EPM2.

While the EPM2 will give better results, for the price, the EPM1 is a better buy. After all, it is essentially the same as the highly regarded EPL3.

I still use mine and. as other have said, under ISO800, it is fine.

Have a look at this thread about the GF1 which is, sensor wise, a Panasonic version of the EPM1.

The GF3 seems to be about the same size and is running $200 with lens refurbished. Would that be closer to a EPM2 in quality?

If your talking sensors the GF3 uses the older 12mp one. The GF3 can't accept a viewfinder.
