Other Comments: I love my new Olympus EPL-2 because of it's size I am able to take it everywhere with me (compared to when I had a DSLR). I've taken it for 2-3 outings so far, and love the results of the photos! I really love its style and the art filters are so fun to use! the menu is quite self explanatory and easy to use and the options dial really helps when you want to quickly change the mode.
Things that are not so great about it.... I was quite disappointed with its auto-focus capabilities. A lot of reviews I read before purchasing the EPL2 commented on its slow auto-focus. but the speed did not bother me too much its the fact that it just doesn't auto-focus on what I want it to a lot of the times (even for portrait shots where the subject took up most of the frame!). I guess it's one way to push yourself to learn to use manual focus more... but there are times where you have that split second shot that you won't have time to manually focus to capture. Another thing would've been nice to have is the AF light for focusing under low lighting conditions, but I'm not too bothered by the lack of it so far...
Another thing to note about it is the lens stabilizer at certain shutter speeds makes a grinding noise... you don't really hear it when you're out shooting... i only noticed it when i first took it out of the box at home in a quite environment.
Overall I love my new EPL2 and am very happy with my purchase~ I'm looking forward to saving up for more accessories like the electronic view finder (which is really expensive... :() and for more lenses to play around with! :)
