I wanted a camera that had it all and this Olympus came closer than any other camera. What I like about this camera: 1. It's small and light2. The electronic viewfinder is fantastic3. The touch screen is convenient for taking pictures and controlling the focus point.4. Image quality is excellent for a camera of this size.5. Good zoom range from 28mm to 300mm. I have a camera that is over 800mm focal length, but it's difficult to hold it still enough to get a good picture, so 300mm is enough for me. It works with an Eye-Fi card so I can wirelessly transfer files to my laptop. The tilting monitor is useful for shooting from a low position. I wish the camera lens would accept filters or if someone makes a clip on filter for this model. Sometimes I use neutral density and a polarizer.
