Upgraded from a bridge p+s last summer... found a steal on craigslist for a Panasonic L1 kit while doing my dslr research. I was going to go with Canon because of its reputation for fine lenses, but it worked out ok because Olympus also has a reputation for the finest glass. (Panasonic and Olympus and Leica 4/3 consortium)Thus I have three manufacturers to choose from for lenses and bodies, and Sigma lenses are coming in to the 4/3 line up as well.
It actually was a stumble into luck on my part since the L1 is set up for easy control with a shutter speed dial, aperture ring functionality and a 2x sensor magnification factor. I never have to menu dive while shooting. Next I will get an Olympus weather sealed body to go with my Oly weather sealed lenses since I am very happy with overall performance of the 4/3 system (not an indoors poor light shooter I live in sunny Floriduh)😉😀
