Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS	Olympus OM-D E-M5	Olympus PEN E-PM2
Read user's review	Good thus far. Great customisation and low light performance.	Silver. It's very good, like a mini E-M5. Offers a decent amount of manual control too, much more than I hoped for.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 II R	Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm 1:3.5-6.3 EZ	Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm F1.8
Silver. Not bad for a plastic kit lens... pretty sharp.	Read user's review Good sharpness from 12-35, not so good at the long end. Macro is excellent, Lfn button is useful, and the sealing works well.	Excellent, and worth every penny. Super sharp wide open, but flawless from F2.8. Occasional chatter and some fringing wide open are the only negatives.

Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH	Panasonic Lumix G 25mm F1.7 ASPH	Samyang 7.5mm F3.5 UMC Fisheye MFT
For making yer camera pocketable.		Beautiful rectangular fisheye. Stop down a bit (F5.6 is good) and set IBIS to 8mm.

Tokina Reflex 300mm F6.3 MF Macro
Read user's review Basically a toy lens with better IQ. I like it.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R	Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm F0.95 Aspherical	Panasonic Leica Summilux DG 25mm F1.4
Added Nov 5, 2013	Added Sep 18, 2013 $1250 at B and H, $1100 at mainlinephoto.com.au. 58mm filter. Helps to get an ND4 filter for daylight shooting.	Added Jun 18, 2012 Fast prime at a length i rarely shoot at. $600 on Amazon, but sometimes $500 from Adorama. Fotodiox 46mm hood is supposedly a good option.

Fujifilm FinePix F30 Zoom	Kodak DC240
Fantastic camera for its day, with super long battery life, proper A and S modes, and exposure comp button. Good low light performance with no flash up to 1600 ISO. A little bit shaky and no IS so use the 2 second timer. Lens is F2.8 3x zoom, 36-108mm equivalent. Default behaviour is S-AF plus AEL on half press. Has a great flash bracketing preset. Bad fringing wide open.
