I currently have a Olympus E-410 but i want something new.
I dont know loads about cameras but i know abit and this camera looks great!
Just wondered on people thoughts about the camera if theirs anything i should know about it would be great :smiley:

what makes you want one of these? what features?
for me its pure hype over this new concept. You cant fit one in your pocket like a normal compact so why go with one of these over a bridge camera or dslr which would be cheaper because its not whats being forced down peoples throats at the moment.

Philip Bloom seems to rate them:

Which suggests they're pretty good.

I would guess that the main reasons for wanting one of these would be
a) size (smaller than a DSLR but the same quality of photo)
b) good quality sensor (same size APS-S sensor)
c) good quality lenses, on par with DSLR lenses
d) sometimes a DSLR is too big and in your face in certain situations
You already have an Olympus DSLR which is pretty small, are you going to sell it to fund this new camera or will you keep it?
