Gorgeous camera!: photo and photo

Excellent camera! I returned to the Micro 4/3 system after a brief exposure with a high-end pocket camera. It's such a relief to have menus that make sense again! The lens that comes with the kit is actually pretty good. The camera isn't so small that the buttons get in the way. I love that I can set up a personal custom menu page and assign function keys wherever I want. I also like the presence of Bluetooth and the touchscreen. You have full control of the camera with your phone, and syncing pictures is a breeze. The only downsides I can think of (although they don't affect me personally) are that the extra grip can be important when shooting with a telephoto lens. The built-in flash has a slow sync speed and casts a shadow or bottom left corner with the included lens when at wide angle. I can't remember the focal length as you approach this shadow. If you need to use the flash with the included lens, please keep this in mind. I don't think this will be an issue with physically shorter lenses. Overall I am very happy with this camera. It's a keeper!
