One week after I bought it the price went down $170. I went through 3 emails with Amazon looking for a refund of the difference and was basically told tough S***, they no longer give buyers that courtesy and I was out of luck. I don’t recommend buying anything from Amazon over $100 from now on or you may find yourself in this position feeling bitter about how you were treated. On the plus side the camera is wonderful, the best I have ever owned and I am 62 years old. I believe it would only be better if I hadn’t been screwed by Amazon on the price.

I don’t think you will fine faster focus on another machine, except in low light. This camera has more options than you can imagine and it works quite well. I sent the camera in because I had a focus issue with the 70-300 lens and I wasn’t sure if it was the lens for the camera. It ended up being the camera and it took less than two week from the day I sent it to the day I got it back. Even if the camera wasn’t so good, I would still give a good review just for how good Olympus performed. The image quality is very good. Anymore I don’t think you can go wrong with any brand of Dslr, get the one that does what you want.
