"Amazing camera for the price. Better than Canon." on by marsands
Pros: Crisp photos, fits very weill in the hand. Two lens kit is amazing! Spend a little bit of time with this camera and you will be very impressed. Save yourself considerable cash with this camera.
Cons: Need to spend a little time getting to know this camera in order to take the best possible pictures.
Summary: Stop reading reviews and buy this camera. Confused between this camera and the over advertised and praised Canon cameras and other "brand names"? You will not be sorry you bought this camera. I am very impressed with photo quality and love the feel and layout of this camera.

"Best Bang for Buck" on by epark1281
Pros: Image Quality, In camera IS system, Noise:ISO superb
Cons: No AF with liveview
Summary: This is probably the best bang for buck you could get out there. A 10MP sensor, an in camera IS system, live view, and a self cleaning sensor, all for about 550 USD (at least at circuit city). I came in here and saw the low rating. This camera doesn't deserve a 7.1 This is at least a 9 in my books. Sure, there aren't as many lenses out there for the 4/3'rds system, but the Zuiko lens lineup is powerful, clear, crisp, sharp, and much lower in cost.
If you're thinking about a Nikon D60, a Canon XTi, or XS, stop and take a stroll down the path less traveled. -
"Excellent; good value for someone looking beyond basic" on by RSUN R
Pros: Excellent pictures, package is a good one
Cons: Menu system is complex;
Summary: I bought this camera and ordered an additional 70-300 mm lens for a trip to Alaska. It served me well when used with rain, snow, slush and on a boat.
Camera has a good feel to it and very convenient. Changing the lens is a breeze and with a good camera bag was able to quickly flip between the 14-40 mm (for panorama and potraits of the kids) vs 70-300mm for telephoto.
Documentation is bad. It takes a lot of reading and practice to figure out some of the items.
Unable to figure between the auto vs scene options.
But what bothered me is that I was still unable to get good pictures of potrait+landscape when the background was bright (snow or sea). I figured out the Nikon S600 easiar (of course) and got good pictures in such situations. -
