I bought this as a super cheap replacement for a stolen camera. As I still had another m4:3 camera body, this was meant all along to be just a backup body. It is very capable and can be had for a pittance. So if you're looking for the best super cheap camera you can find, the E-PL1 will certainly fit the bill. If you want just a backup body, it will do fine. Perhaps the most important thing this model lacks is an articulated viewfinder screen. So shooting while holding the camera down low or up high is inconvenient. On the plus side, it has a built-in flash, unlike later models which have better built-in features but use an add-on flash.

Exact replacement for my original camera body which I had dropped and broke the view screen, rendering it inoperable. I have all the original accessories intact" lens, memory card, etc.. This new camera body works perfectly just like my old original did. Thank you!

I previously had one of these cameras and sold it. Now I decided it would make a great camera to keep in my car as a spare. I've had times when I brought a camera with me and then ran our of battery charge. Having a decent spare handy would have helped.
i bought this for my grand daughter and she love it easy to use for her and just the right size for a 8 year to learn with

Overall is a good camera. I wish it could take a bigger memory card (32GB max).
