Just gotten the EPL2 a day CNY eve, had a few things to share on this. Nothing technical just some findings which may be interesting for those thinking of buying a Pen or upgrading theirs. More of likes & dislikes IMHO. I will add on if the interest level is there. Also, feel free to add in your views as well, as YMMV...
1st: The kit lens AF test...one of the key advantages is the improved AF speed, so most will ask, how much faster? Did a video test on the old vs new 14-42 here (sorry, realize din do a good job on the 14-42 video, can tell i suck at it actually:bsmilie

And one with the 40-150 m43 vs zd 40-150+mmf2. This is improved video (i hope) as i use tripod...

Personally, the new 14-42 is just slightly faster, but sometimes that split sec may lose the moment. But 40-150 m43 is significantly faster...
Not to mention the new kits are smaller and quieter...
Verdict: I really like the improvements. But then, i have the MMF1+40-150 already and I'm no speed demon, so I will still be keeping the ZD version as it's cheaper. In terms of pic quality, i have yet to do a in-depth test. Will do so when time allows. And personally not a 14-42 plastic kit lens lover, so I am still thinking whether to keep it.
Hope this helps.
Follow up coming soon...Huat Arh!!!
