Olympus PEN E-PL9 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera (Body Only, Black)
Camera works well, but is too hard to use
Camera works well, but menus are too hard to use! Video button is all but impossible to hit. Buttons need illumination in the dark. Manual focus works, but is impossible to use except in lab settings. MOV video format is not as good as the AVI format used on former Olympus PEN cameras.

I just love the looks of it
I was very wary of buying a camera without a viewfinder because I do live in the desert with a very bright sun and I had no problem seeing the LCD monitor-- it takes really nice shots I used a Panasonic 14 to 42 lens on it because I didn't want to ruin its looks --photos came out excellent--all I can say is that I love
