In my honest opinion the camera is flawless! Responsive in all areas. It´s
a true killer! I highly recommend buying it with the 45mm lens. Now it´s
when you realize zooms is not the way to go. I am really waiting for the
new Zuiko 25/1.8 and probably I´ll buy the new 75mm f1.8 if everything goes
well with this new photography project.

Today I am going to Manhattan to change the flash for another one. I´ll
keep you posted!

Best wishes and have a nice weekend.

David
