The good: The E-PL2 delivers excellent photo quality, with an extremely customizable interface.
The bad: Performance has improved, but the E-PL2 still couldn't be classified as fast overall.
The bottom line: A great interchangeable-lens model if you're looking for better photo quality and/or a more advanced feature set than your current point-and-shoot offers, the Olympus PEN E-PL2 still doesn't satisfy for photographing active kids and pets.

Specifications
- Manufacturer: Olympus
- Part number: 262902
- Description: The stylish retro black metal body of the E-P2 may be reminiscent of a traditional rangefinder but there's nothing traditional about this powerful camera from Olympus. The E-P2 is a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens camera, and it blends the high quality still images of a DSLR with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and in-camera creativity all inside an ultra-portable, easy-to-use body. The E-P2 also brings a twist to the PEN lineup: an accessory port which accommodates the included VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter.
