Pros: Compact and light, great image quality and handling. Superb kit lenses. Image stabilization.
Cons: Imperfect Live View, slow AF in low light. Poor menu system.
The Bottom Line: Lightweight yet well built with excellent image quality and flexibility. Handles very well and is easy to setup and control. Great value for money, particularly in the two-lens kit.

Pros: Once you figure everything out, this is an excellent camera for the intermediate photographer.
Cons: You can's see the image in the LCD screen prior to taking the picture.
The Bottom Line: I really like this camera. I had never owned an Olympus before-mostly Minolta in the past-but have to say I would probably buy another one.

Pros: In general a great camera for beginners and experts alike
Cons: Noise at ISO1600, Live View focusing takes LOTS of time
The Bottom Line: Wonderful camera, and best price out there, buy it, unless you are willing to pay the extra $200 for the Sony a300 (coming out April 15th, 2008)

Pros: Image stabilization and excellent image quality (albeit I use the sharper 14-54 lens).

Pros: Lg LCD. 10MP. Sensor cleaner. Image stabilizer. Price. 2 lenses. Quality. Size.
Cons: Small viewfinder. No movie mode. Pinch type lens cover.
The Bottom Line: Good end results; decent price for what you get; easy enough for beginner yet still has functions and features a professional could utilize.
