Pros: Construction, aesthetically beautiful, autofocus in good light, good rendering at low iso,.

Cons: Noise above 1600 iso.

Opinion: Taken recently I found a nice used opportunity Pleasant to handle causes addiction . I'm testing it in street and it behaves very well despite its age, combined with the Panasonic 20 f1.7, it is a winning combination both for autofocus and for portability. For me in 2026 it is still valid despite only 12mpx

Pros: Beautiful, sturdy, spectacular build quality, touch screen, file quality at ISO base is in good light, double ring

Cons: File quality in low light, suffers in long exposures. Fixed Display

Opinion: A car lady, beautiful, mighty, beautifully finished and sturdy, really comes the urge to hold her and use it. Its ideal context is the reportage, at ISO base and with good or discreet light pulls out of the amazing files, if combined with optical race. Defects? Yes, the high ISO yield with low light and in general the yield on the long exposures, always noisy even with Dark frame automatic. For the rest, he can say his still today, eight years away from the commercialization... The touch screen (who uses Olympus knows) is a boon for the shot, although here is not articulated, has the integrated pop up Flashettino and the stabilizer (the old three axes) always works fine, although it does not reach the thrill performance of 5 axes. Adorable room, every now and then I'm tempted to separate but then I always go back to my steps and get out of time.

Pros: excellent construction compared to the latest programs well arranged handle easy it makes it easy to find lens for the 4/3 format

Cons: not viewfinder high iso autofocus with poor light

Opinion: recently bought it with a year's warranty at the time it cost 800 euros I think I made a deal of the use especially with the street coming from canon reflex and a new world that I am passionate about for a future perhaps of mirrorles for its practicality and transport foro chedo that I will change the sensor better apsc or ff but I like on this machine its filters a little dated but retro' kind of film effect with grain
