Just like an old OM 35mm series, the size a camera should be

Pros: Small size, low weight, excellent colour saturation
Cons: No image stabilisation
Opinion:
This is the perfect travel camera, the quality of an SLR in a package about the size of a bridge compact. The Olympus lenses are excellent, and the image quality and colour saturation from JPEGs is great. Only at higher ISOs is there any evidence of noise. A great travel camera, and a great 2nd body for someone with an E3 system. Also, it is extremely cheap. For the next model in this series, if Olympus add IS and an articulating live-view screen, they would have almost the perfect camera. Canon & Nikon (& Sony & Pentax), eat your heart out,
