I like it a lot. Though I can't change lenses, but it has a shoe for my flash gun and adapters for macro, tele, and filters. Very portable.

My first digital was a Nikon, but I've had two Olympus since. They use the old XD memory that isn't made anymore, but I stocked up.

I've been looking at the Olympus PEN, but I don't know if I want to pay for that touch screen. I'm a viewfinder guy. I have an easier time framing the shot in the way I've been taking pix all my life.
