Teo, first one is in Toulouse, France. Thanks!
Jes, thanks, although it won''t be exotic locales, I hope to have a lot of fun with this little camera.
It has a hot shoe, too, one of the reasons I bought it besides its compactness, and the fast lens. |

Haven't you tried the Fuji compact EXR series?.
I got a F300EXR and I'm just trying it, but the results (color specially) are quite promising

Congrats Bill - this is a nice camera.
I was playing for a while with one of those. It looks good but too small for me  - like a size of pack of cigarettes.
The picture quality is comparable with the Pen series except from the dof.

Boy, this is one TEMPTING little camera. I looked over the specs, and some of the reviews,
and I couldn't find anything that was over-critical of this camera. And...the lens is FAST!
I've looked at various models of Canons and other Olympus cameras, but this one seems so
STRAIGHTFORWARD as a 'pure shooter with no hype'. I do desire having a pocketable camera
that has a good spec list and reviews. This one seems to me to be a hugely viable candidate.
I will look forward to seeing your impressions Bill!

It's a beautiful one ! Good luck with it ! I am expecting a lot of postings from you in the AF gallery in the next months
I was debating between this one and the EPL1+14-42II .I choosed the last one ,in the end (because of the sensor dimensions) ,but I am a little sorry about that f1.8 . I'll have to get a Panny 1,7 for it (s**t!!! money again !) .
