  I would avoid this one, it has the old 12mpx sensor, which is lousey. Pick up an emp2 instead with the 16mpx sensor. Much better option because it actually has usable low light performance

    True with low light performance of the newer sensor but the pm2 is a point-and-shoot that costs $150 more.

    For compact users wanting to learn to take more control, the pl5 will be much better but then again, will cost even more.

    In short, $222 is a good price for what this camera can offer when compared to similarly priced P&S compacts. Just don't expect great results from shots taken in low light.

      e-pm2 is an interchangeable lens camera and not "a point-and-shoot ". I have one and it can do most things which my omd em-5 does.

        All PEN cameras are ILCs. The E-PM2 is the entry-level of the range; it has no physical mode dial and controls are accessed primarily via menu on the touch screen. For all intents and purposes this is what defines a Point-and-Shoot camera.

        Actually the epm2 has got a dial at the back (above the menu, and around the OK button) where you could dial to change the aperture in A mode, shutter speed in P mode. You can even program the Fn button to work as back button focus or magnify and … more …

        What you're referring to is the four-way D-pad, not to be confused with a dedicated mode dial and other programmable dials.
        If I remember correctly, their default settings are: up - exposure compensation, right - flash options, down - drive modes, and left - AF targets.
        Yes, you can reprogram two of the buttons on the D-pad to do quite a lot of things as with most Olympus cameras but you also lose the default functions when you do that. Hence, the E-PM2 is essentially a camera designed for the Point-and-shoot consumers. That's not to say it can't take very good photos when in the right hands.

        Don't really want to be pedantic but you haven't used the epm2 extensively … do you? It is a dial, could also be used as up/down/right/left buttons. But as default it is a dial and can rotate through and through.

  The code was valid at mid-night yesterday. Bought one, hope it will arrive sooner. $222 was a great deal indeed.
