Olympus E-PL2 tested at Digitalcamerareview (+GF2 and E-5 reviews)
CNET Australia tested the new Panasonic GF2: “Panasonic’s second compact interchangeable lens camera won’t disappoint new users with its sleek footprint and very good image quality. It’s those looking to upgrade who might be left feeling a tad disappointed, particularly compared to the strong offerings from other manufacturers in the same space.” The reviewer gave the camera 8.3 out of 10 points.

Digitalcamerareview posted their new Olympus E-PL2 test results: “Can I honestly recommend that current E-PL1 owners “upgrade” to the E-PL2? No. However, if you’re currently shopping for a new camera there are plenty of reasons to consider this one. The E-PL2 offers a small, light camera and plenty of features at a competitive price. ” The E-PL2 gets 3.5/5 points.

And ThePhoBlographer compared the Olympus E-5, Pentax K5, Canon 7D, Nikon D300s. That’s what he thinks about the E-5: “The punchiest colors by far, but the worst dynamic range. This was a major disappointment for me as I’m a former Olympus user.”

Again sell all your Oly gear before it is too late.
Oly going down, accept it or not.
Sorry but it is true

Hands down, the best camera review I have ever read – by far.

2) I feel the E5 comparison was good. It was praised where they found it to be good, but the K5 and 7D are great rigs. Doesn’t make me want to sell my gear or nothing. There’s always something better than what you own you know…

Be patient until March/April. The fog is bound to lift by then.

Maybe I am wrong but I never notice bashing of Panasonic products…
