This is from lower-end of the m4/3rds line-up. $600, in-line with the

cameras, it could be good. The lens is supposed to be optically
better than the dog 14-42mm Panasonic replaced the well-regarded

Still no AF assist lamp or orientation sensor.

Coming from someone who shot over 100 exposures on an E-PL1 during a
recent vacation, I can tell you that I seriously miss both of these
features.
