4.5/5 stars  9 reviews

A DSLR for the common man

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Compact and light, great image quality and handling. Superb kit lenses. Image stabilization.

Cons: Imperfect Live View, slow AF in low light. Poor menu system.

Bottom Line:
Lightweight yet well built with excellent image quality and flexibility. Handles very well and is easy to setup and control. Great value for money, particularly in the two-lens kit. Read More

Great camera but not so easy to use

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Once you figure everything out, this is an excellent camera for the intermediate photographer.

Cons: You can's see the image in the LCD screen prior to taking the picture.

Bottom Line:
I really like this camera. I had never owned an Olympus before-mostly Minolta in the past-but have to say I would probably buy another one. Read More

No Movie Mode?

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Image stabilization and excellent image quality (albeit I use the sharper 14-54 lens).

Cons: Live view delay (for my purposes, it's too slow).
