I bought and sent back a refurbed silver Pen-F. I had an issue with low lighting condition, where a very bright pixel would show up in the EVF and rear display and was also captured in the image. The other thing was I had updated the firmware to 2.0 before I read there was a bug with that firmware version which causes a lockup. During the lockup I got a black screen, all buttons do not function, turning the camera off and on does not bring it back. You have to turn the power switch to off, and remove the battery. Reinstall the battery and turn on again and the camera functions for a while until it locks up again.

Good thing there is a 30 day return, the bright pixel issue was enough for me to send it back. The lockup issue was just more incentive to do so.

Anyway, don't upgrade the firmware until Olympus puts out a patched release.

Yes, I know about that and will wait for the firmware patch.   Thanks for the heads up.

Sounds like this bright pixel issue was isolated though to that cam, not read of this being a bigger issue...
