Hi all
recently i've just came across with this cool camera, small in body, very pocketable but has an APSC sensor in it. i've read review from stevehuff., dpreview and i've heard mixed review for this camera in term of focusing speed.
well of course i cant use this to benchmark against the big guys dslrs but is it fast enough to shoot moving kids? any user from LYN care to share?
much thank you.

Hmm, still em1/em5 the best eh. Perhaps i should stick to my oly ep3.
Anyway, where did you buy the camera? I went to lowyat, most shops dont carry. Wanna at least hold it before giving up the idea of buying heheh.
And also, thanks for your sharing. Appreciate it.
