It's a different animal than my other Oly cams, even the E-Pl2. There are so many different features and settings on it that I haven't customized it like my other ones yet. I used it extensively at a first birthday party yesterday, shooting in both raw + jpeg and using the 12-50 primarily along with the 45mm.
Things that I've come to really like about it that I didn't think I would - LOVE the touch screen! It's quite stealthy and fast when taking pictures. Coupled with the tilt screen and quiet shutter button, candids are really easy to take. The touch screen can also be used in playback by swiping through the photos. I have screen protectors coming from
Amazon that should reduce the amount of fingerprints from it.
9 fps! You don't appreciate it until you try it! Sounds like a machine gun firing it's so fast!
I haven't tried any real high ISO shots though I should have yesterday when I took photos inside a dimly lighted restaurant with the 45mm.
I've ready some complaints about "mushy" buttons probably due to weather sealing. They're different but don't bother me.
I like having the macro function on the lens. I've tried it a couple of times and seems to work well.
The thumb grip is nice. I don't think I will inadvertently change settings like I do at times with the E-Pl2.
Weather sealing is a plus. We leave a week from today for Hawaii and I won't have any worries about the beach or getting caught in the rain or splashed by a waterfall.
I found some lightroom 4 presets for raw files which I'm in the process of putting in and we'll see how they work on the pics I took yesterday. Just importing them into LR some look a bit muddy and over saturated. In thinking back I probably should have disabled the warm color option. It might not work well on people. I'll install Oly Viewer 2 and check them out with the different settings.
A small manual is included in the box, but a much more detailed one is available for download.
I haven't tried video yet.
It's quite solid feeling and smaller than it looks. Maybe I'll get the grip later - I'm hoping it will then feel like my E520 which fit me perfectly. Ordered a third party battery with comes with its own charger (it won't charge in the Oly charger) and I'll give it a try today.
I think it's a keeper!
