Tiny Powerhouse
2

After the greater part of a year using this camera, I have to say it is a tiny powerhouse.

I wanted a small ILC to replace an older compact camera I used as backup for my DSLR.

After just a couple of weeks I was using this camera for most things except for when I needed finer manual control or just a little bit more speed.

It has been capable at car shows [flip up screen is great for composition from the waist photos], in nature photography [yes, even flying birds], landscapes and portraiture.

It has its limitations [like viewfinder only as an add on] and no built in flash, but they are only an upgrade away.

Great work Olympus.
