All I can say is "Holy Camera Batman"! This thing rocks, add an extra lens and you can't go wrong. Just buy and enjoy!!!

Imaging which rivals my dslr's -and it fits in my pocket!

I have used and reviewed more than 32 digital cameras over the past 16 years. I have to admit that the EPL-1 is one of my all-time favorites. I love the feel of it, the quality of construction, and most of all the great shots it takes. You really need a full APS-C size chip to take better shots and even most of those do not equal the Olympus 4/3 chip. The camera is a bit on the slow side, but that does not bother me since I am not shooting sports. For portrait, architecture, and landscape shooting... or just everyday shooting, this camera with the kit lens cannot be beat; and getting it as a demo model for less than most point and shoots is icing on the cake. Even at full price, this camera is worth every cent.

Wanted lighter camera with interchangeable lenses. This camera fits the bill! Excellent picture quality and easy to use. Also like the built-in flash.

I bought this camera due to it's size, cost, lense options and underwater housing. I have been very happy with all of these.

I love to have pictures with OOC best quality. I do not like to spend time PS. It considers fake to me. A little retouch or sharpening is OK. E-PL1 does what I love most. Its straight out pictures satisfy my needs and style. Although ergonomic, handling not the best. Menu is inconvenient when look for an adjustment. The kit lens is fine to me, but I'm looking for to invest in a pana 20mm f/1.7. Did mention low noise up to ISO1600? I love my E-PL1.

This is my first experience with an interchangable lens cam so I cannot compare it to others. However, before buying Olympus, I did my research and figured this is the way I'd go. So far, I love my camera. I have been using it for more than a year and even when I was iffy about it, it has never let me down. I recently purchased the 17mm lens and that's now the lens I always use. I'm very happy with this cam though I really want to get the new OM-D :3 Needles to say, I will continue to be a loyal Olympus user.

It is a simple camera. Easy to use. It takes very good pictures.

I have had the camera for only a few weeks but I am having a great time using it.

Just got back from Sedona AZ and the Grand Canyon. The E-PL1 Camera performed extremely well. The camera really captured the mountains in all their splendor. Great reds of the mountains were captured perfectly. At the Grand Canyon it was a very overcast day but the pictures came out very good.
