I bought this camera for my wife and also we needed a compact camera which would deliver great pictures on our trips. I've always been a big fan of Olympus esp. their Zuiko lenses. And I was thrilled to see that this camera had the smaller version of the Zuiko tech and also F1.8 at wide and F2.5 at tele, that's awesome! Olympus's metering is fantastic and the no. of settings you can play around with is so exciting. It's very compact but you cannot fit it into a tight jeans pocket. Everything about is great quality. Focusing is super fast, the Tracking Auto Focus is so useful, you can shoot in low light, the sensor IS allows you to shoot at 1/25s without shake and I can go on. The Bokeh is beautiful on this camera. At 85mm-120mm it the portraits pictures are comparable to any DSLR. I'm so happy it can shoot both RAW and JPG. Note: I'm a photographer by profession.
