Good performance, small size

This is a great little camera, and contrary to Olympus's intentions this was not a step up from a P&S for me, but an addition to my DSLR and larger Panasonic GH2. It fits the bill, being very small but with the same size sensor. The controls are minimal, but even so I find them to be easy to use - with the combination of the dial and pad it makes changing two parameters (aperture and exp comp) easy and quick.
Like:
Good quality finish, metal body, solid in hands
Fast AF, fast shutter (low lag)
Responsive overall
Hot shoe included
Image quality
Art filters fun (plus saves unfiltered RAW)
Kit lens is really quite tiny, take filters
Stereo sound in video
Dislikes:
Wish flash was built in (but I don't really use the flash)
IS not effective in stopping shutter shake at low speeds - need viewfinder or 2s timer to really hold steady
Battery charger has long cord
Noticeable 'jello' effect in video when panning
Overall a very capable package that takes lenses and replaces a larger P&S as a camera you can take anywhere with you...
