Having a bitter experience with a Sigma DP1 (faulty just outside warranty)there was little options on compacts with full frame sensors.Just then the Pen arrived and as the range grew the price became quite attractive, so I decided to purchase and try.
From the minute I opened the box and held the camera, the first impression was real quality, much more sturdy than previous compacts which I have owned. The camera fills all the peramiters of my needs, really well thought out.
I uploaded the latest firmware and focus causes me no problems whatsoever.Another critisism is the lack of flash, no problem I picked up an FL20, really neat and looks the part, just use it on manual and not problems.
I have just picked up an adaptor and Minolta 50mm 1.4 this adds a whole new dimension to the camera.
I am really having fun using the camera and would highly recommend it
