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've had both the 12MP sensor in several cameras (by Oly and Panasonic, both) and the 16MP.  The 16MP sensor in the EPM2 is absolutely worth the difference.  (Also, the 16MP sensor in the GX1, and GF6 is not as good in many ways as the 16MP used in the Olys).

I really enjoyed my EPM2, and would highly recommend it if you can find one at a good price.  The EPM1....not so much.

YMMV, of course.
