An all round excellent camera with exceptional build and featureset. Image quality is excellent and noise low up to 400 ISO. I'd agree that the noise at 800 ISO and above is not unpleasant, but it is there. Noise Ninja cleans up higher ISO pictures extremely well though.
The new 4/3 system is both a massive advantage and possible achilles heal. Judged on the present camera I have no complaints but would be disappointd if the system didn't take off as support would likely disappear. Olympus seem to be seriously committed to the E1 system but I guess only time will tell.
Value for money is good but no DSLR could be described as a bargain - not even the Canon EOS 300D. Lenses are expensive but not for the quality on offer.
All round I'm extremely pleased with the quality & results.
Problems:
Only one. With my Fuji memory card the camera locked up once after taking 12 shots in rapid succession. This hasn't happened again in over 1500 shots with a Sandisk Ultra II
