I did not like it anywhere near as much as the Panasonic G1, or GH1. If you already have Olympus 4/3 lenses the E-P1 auto-focusses them slowly on the adapter, whereas on the Panasonic they are manual focus. I did not check whether the anti-shake was particularly effective though. The E-P2 fixes the viewfinder problem, but is pricey. cheers, Frank D.
