Well for my opinion this camera is awesome in compact and nice ISO noise control than mosts of the rivals BUT there are few con's that annoy people

first the so called the ''DSLR & Compact'' actually should be looks more compact Micro Four Thirds System, I did actually see the sized well is compact THAN the DSLR only, to compare certain Premium Compact this camera was quite bulky.

Secondly, well maximum 2'' Shutter Speed might not be a problem due for the ISO performance but no af assist (in dim light, hardly focus or take more time) no onboard flash and horrible AF in over bright or dark light

Lastly no built in viewfinder and the price is wow it expensive just it's less bulky than DSLR !?

well some said build in built-in IS is cool well however like Sony SSS you will not ''feel'' the stabilization, luckily Olympus E-P1 has the IS effect for the Live View so it will not be the con for the IS function in this camera unless u want an option for the viewfinder features.
