"Great Step Up from P&S"
on by HeartMan85Pros Much better image quality than p&s. Light & stealthy. On board flash. Nice variety of filters. Easy to make changes with speed dial. Can choose among image dimensions, I like 3x2 for perfect 4x6 prints without having to crop.
Cons Have to be careful how camera is held when using flash, finger can block light. Raw formate is orf, need to use oly software to convert to tiff to use ps. Slow af in low light.
Summary If you want better quality shots then you get from your point and shoot, but don't want to buy or haul around a dslr, this camera offers a great alternative. The interchangeable lenses are good quality and very light.

"Fantastic pictures. Fun filter system built in camera."
on by brainedesignPros Picture quality is excellent, video quality is ok, but only mono sound. Nice size. Filter system in camera is allot of fun.
Size, feel of camera is a real plus-very easy to take and carry. LCD screen is very nice (eye view finder would be a nice addition)Cons Continuous shooting is average for most situations. Eye view finder costs extra.
May take one awhile to learn all the capabilities of the camera.Summary If you are looking for DSLR quality in a small footprint, this is an excellent choice. Pictures have amazing quality, clarity. Pictures are much better than my Panasonic FZ100.
Very happy with my purchase, would recommend to others. -

"Like the fact it can use old OM lenses w/ an adapter"
on by rrakoczy58Pros I got this camera , in part, to be able to use my old lenses from my OM-10 film camera from days gone by. They work quite well, and the pictures are very good.
One can still use the various camera settings and manipulate the lens just like the old days ofCons How come a viewfinder costs $135 ?? Looking at the screen in bright light and in other situations where one really wants to focus on the subject is a bit too hard sometimes. The viewfinder should NOT cost as much as it does, and probably should be inclu
Summary A good value, and a good camera. but that viewfinder attachment.... I'm only saying...

All the controls you expect in a serious camera.
Good build quality.
Relatively compact.
Good kit lens: fast to focus and silent.
Easy to use
A camera you want to bring with you everywhere.Cons Video quality is not as good as competitors
Control dial could be bigger
Optional lenses are too priceySummary Entry level SLR image quality and performance in a package half the size. Not much bigger than a G12. Great option for serious photographers when an SLR is too bulky.
