It has a crappy 4/3 sensor. Didn't you hear that it's not worth the plastic
shell it's in?

Actually, they perform OK up to ISO 1600. The kit lens is good for its
price. My wife has a EPL-1 now and they have similar sensors and lens spec.
But for really low light work, of course you'd want a M adapter and slap
your 35'lux on it :-) Either that or get the now rare LeicaPany 25/1.4.
Nathan used to have one and I believe he likes it quite a bit. Sort of large
though.
