As others have mentioned, this camera is a steal at this price. Probably the cheapest micro four thirds camera on the market and better IQ than the majority of its kin. Having recently owned a number of cameras including a Canon SL1, Panasonic G5, GX7 and Sony RX100 m3 -- I can safely say the E-PL6 is looking like a keeper and its hundreds of dollars cheaper than those as well. Image quality, especially in low light, trumps all previous mentioned cameras except for maybe the GX7. I find the grain at higher isos from Olympus much more pleasing and easier to work with in Photoshop than the ugly color splotches from Canons DSLRs or the detail smudging Sony does. Remember that this camera has the same sensor as the OMD EM-5, just in a smaller body. Hard to beat. There are a few compromises and cons of course. The default menu setup is just terrible and I can imagine that a lot of people may even give up on the camera before learning it since so many settings are buried. Check bottom of review for changes you should make before even taking the camera out to shoot. Not a big fan of the small buttons but you get used to them after a couple days. Never seen such a small and sensitive shutter button before though. I cant imagine the little rear dial withstanding much abuse either but Im not rough with mine, so it should be fine. An EVF wouldve been nice too but for the price, its hard to complain. All in all, I cant recommend this little camera enough. Even with the quirks, they are far overshadowed by the great images and usability you get out of it. Unlike a lifeless Canon, half-baked Panasonic or boring Sony, I actually enjoy using this pen. Cheap price, fast autofocus, fast startup, great low light, decent kit lens, touchscreen, tilting LCD and body stabilization. Lots of great, nice looking art modes too which are usually useless on most cams. What more can be said? Many people grab one of these low-priced pens as a side camera and more often then not, youll read that they end up using it more than their main cam. Thats for a good reason which I quickly discovered. An easy choice if you dont want to cough up hundreds more for a bigger body thatll have quirks of its own. Better off spending that extra money on lenses. Id also suggest grabbing the MCG-2 grip if you have larger hands. --------------------------------------- 1. Enable the Super User Control Panel Menu -> Setup Menu -> Menu Display and set the top display option to "On" Custom Menu -> Disp/PC -> Control Settings and for each mode, set Live Control to "Off" and Live SCP to "On" 2. Disable Keep Warm Color Menu -> Custom Menu -> Color/WB and set WB Auto Keep Warm Color to "Off" 3. Unlock rear dial (to easily set shutter speed/aperature) Menu -> Button/Dial and set Lock to "Off" 4. Fix LCD colors Menu -> Setup Menu -> Temp Icon (above Rec View) and hit Info button on the back of camera to change it from Vivid to Natural With these small tweaks, youll now be able to access every setting you need by hitting your OK button and not have to dig through menus. Also your reds wont appear overblown and your skintones wont look like burnt tomatos in your images anymore. I have no idea why these were set that way by default but thankfully these changes make a huge difference.
