'The Olympus E-PL2 is a compact, versatile camera that should please just about anyone who loves taking great pictures without lugging around pounds of gear. '
' Panasonic has done a good job of mixing intermediate photography features with easy-to-use features in the Lumix G2, making it an ideal entry-level DSLR camera.
'
'We found that the Panasonic G2 is suitable exactly for whom it's designed for: a camera for the compact camera upgrader, who will find welcome in its user-friendly features, rather than the DSLR downgrader who might find the ISO performance a little lacking.'
'Overall, the Panasonic G2 is a big improvement on the G1, offering a refreshing new way to interact with the camera.'
'So Olympus is trying again to lure this lucrative audience to its Micro Four Thirds camp, this time with the more consumer-friendly designed and priced E-PL1.
'
'And in the eyes of many consumers the E-PL1 will best its more expensive bigger brother due to the fact that, for the first time, Olympus has included a built-in, pop-up flash, activated by a thumb switch situated at the top left-hand edge of the camera back. '
'the E-PL1 feels sturdy and easy to tote around from bag to beach and back again.'
'Camera has a "retro" look and design, which is appealing.'
'Its relatively compact size makes it a suitable for anyone who wants similar capabilities to a digital SLR but not the bulky size.'
'GH1 is just as exciting for film-makers and keen photographers alike.'
'In summary, the Panasonic GH1 is better able to compete with the best from Nikon and Canon, and bests other Four Thirds players like the Olympus E-30 and even the Panasonic G1.'
'Camera picks up lens motor noise when shooting video.'
'The attractive Olympus Pen E-P2 serves up unique in-camera controls, interchangeable lenses, and a compact design, but it costs significantly more than an entry-level DSLR. '
'the E-P2 is a great performer.'
'However, on its own merits the E-P2 is a great addition to the Micro Four Thirds camera collection. '
