I, too, use an E-PL1, and have been surprised by the quality of the images, considering the size of the sensor. I agree with you completely that taking the time to become familiar with this camera will be a terrific advantage. I have used Canon FD lenses on the E-PL1 with success (particularly 28 and 50 mm), and find that MFT prime lenses, such as the Panasonic 20mm 1.7, greatly enhance the capabilities of the camera. For me, I have found the E-PL1's firmware and general operation to be an easy transition from Oly's other 4/3rd cameras (eg. E-510 and 620). Operation of the 620, in particular, is very similar to the E-PL1 (without the dedicated controls of the 620, of course), and the 4/3rd lenses work seamlessly on the MFT format with either the Panasonic or Olympus adapters. As an aside, I am curious about your work. A friend of mine works extensively in eastern Europe, primarily with Romani, and among other things has documented and reported on housing conditions and homelessness. Good luck, and thanks for your interesting posts! Very nice summary of the E-PL1. I, too, use an E-PL1, and have been surprised by the quality of the images, considering the size of the sensor.

Low cost, fast and I think it works really well for my needs. The thing is, if your not using the latest version of Photoshop etc your not a serious player ;) Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading this article, As part of my job (I work for a small local college in marketing) I take most of the photos and although I have PS4 which I can use I almost only use Picasa and Picnik.

There is not much difference in sharpness between the two images when looking at the faces. I want to buy a smaller digital camera to compliment my Nikon D200 and I am worried about the sharpness of the images compared to Nikon lenses. I have an older 2.8/80-200 Nikon lens that I would like to use with the EP-1 and your images answered that question. Cheers I pulled both your images into PS and enlarged the Olympus EP1
