Hello Larry, just got the June issue of Better Photography magazine, where there is an excellent review of the Olympus OM-D. The PLUS points are: quick AF, good image quality from a small 17.3 x 13 mm live MOS sensor, customisability. MINUS point are: small buttons, price. Final Ratings are: Features - 13/15; Performance - 38/45; Build Quality - 14/15; Ergonomics - 17/20. OVERALL RATING 85 %. The Editor says that if you do not mind a slightly bigger size, then the Nikon D7000 beats the Olympus hollow. It goes on to say further that the cheaper Panasonic DMC- GX1 may be a better buy. People get nostalgic at its circa 1984 SLR retro design, and may buy it on impulse. Going by the Overall Rating (85%) for Camera Tests in this Mag, I would not buy it. Anything over 90% is OK. I also noted that this company (Olympus) was embroiled in a multi-million Dollar fraud recently and it will tend to recoup the loss from us gullible customers. Regards. Bipin - from a far away enchanting land.
