    This is early days for a complex art tool. Give me a year or so and I will have a more useful opinion. Also, I selected this model as sufficiently advanced to have the features I want to use, and at the same time it is far enough behind the bleeding edge of technology that the price was reasonable. The good: The camera is small and light, easy to carry. I installed the strap easily, and the lens (a 14-42 from my older E-420) using an aftermarket adapter that allows auto focus. The results were fine, things work well. My photos are in focus and the camera is a pleasure to use. The screen, and its articulating function is OK. I had a Nikon with an articulating screen I prefer but when I get more used to it I expect it will function as easily as the old Nikon. It is great for taking pictures with the camera high over my head, or at waist level. I am not likely to do many selfies though. I like the number of art effects I can use and other functions I have yet to try out. I intend to use it for some short video projects later on. The battery life is good, and after marked batteries have considerably greater capacity for pretty cheap. I bought two. The software that comes with the camera is useful and easy to use. The various controls and buttons are logically placed and easy to use. The bad: Nothing. Other comments. The screen is really nice, and I wonder about its long term resistance to dust and scratches in the camera bag. I am now shopping for a hard surface protective cover for the screen and an appropriate bag to carry all the camera rattle around. Because of the minimalist nature of the camera, it needs a little planning before setting out on a photo mission. Do I want to mount the flash unit or carry it in the bag? What about a couple of extra lenses, batteries, and other stuff. How long do I want to stand around juggling pieces before the photo op goes away? I have spare memory cards, but I am shopping for a USB cable so I can download the images direct without opening the camera. Oh yeah. I like the look of that fat zoom lens barrel mounted on the tiny little camera body.
