Olympus PEN E-PL1 12.3MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens Pros – Cons

Below is often a quick listing of pros and cons on the E-PL1

Pros

The best Olympus implementation in the m4/3 sensor
A single with the very best JPEG engines within the small business
Comparatively tiny and light
Developed in flash
In camera Picture Stabilization(IS)
Price (The lowest priced m4/3 yet)
Optional EVF (A quite good 1.4mp unit but really pricy at $279)
Its accessible
Decent construct top quality

Cons

Slow Autofocus (Panasonic has this figured out. Olympus, not so much)
Missing Manage Wheel slows down aperture, shutter, and exposure alterations
Only 230k screen?!
1/2000 shutter speed?! A ton of P+S head to 1/4000
Locking lens is frustrating to deploy and stow

Total
A competent and great camera that will take stunning pictures. Sluggish autofocus and clunky controls will make this camera irritating to a lot of persons.
