5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Results and Value for Your Buck!!!, December 22, 2006

By	Alex G. "Alex G." (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

I have owned this camera for about a year now and can tell you - this is one of the BEST digital SLRs out there. Built like a tank and with superior ergonomics, but most importantly, it delivers LARGE AND CLEAN digital files with an image quality, that your average point and shoot cannot even come close. I love night photography and the results impress me every time. My friend owns anothe big brand SLR (Cxxxn) - we compared the images shot at the same time and of the same subject. Olympus' looked MUCH BETTER!
At this price, this camera is a very good deal. Better yet, buy the 2-lens kit and you'll be set! (that is until you start craving better and more expensive lenses, like I did). I added an F2.8 Zuiko lens and a FL-36 Flash. Everything works seamlessly as a system.
Good luck and enjoy your camera!!!
