Great in-between camera!

 

We were looking to upgrade our point-and-shoot and stay with a compact camera - this was the perfect option! The picture quality is fantastic and the rapid pictures-per-second rate allowed us to capture our active young one on the move. We bought a...

Wow.

 

This is the best camera that I have ever had hands down. The "art" settings make it so that you do not even have to use photoshop. The lens can be switched out for wide angle, telescopic, etc... You can even get a water proof housing for diving! Very...

Wow...thrilled with purchase

 

It took a little while to get to this camera but it was worth it! In our home we have a Canon EOS, which is great but feels clunky to me when I've got two kids in tow and the camera. I needed something compact and quick but wanted the feel of a "real"...

Great pictures with ease.

 

Bought this camera for a family trip thinking I'd like to get a few good pictures instead of relying on my old 5.0MP. Well, I'm glad I did because the pictures turned out great! This thing is really easy to use and takes fantastic pictures. One of the...

Great little camera

 

I have a DSLR, but wanted a second camera as a backup. The small point and shoot Olympus I had was OK for that, but lacked versatility. I am pleased with the Olympus brand, so did not hesitate to try the E-PM1. What a great little camera! It has so...
