I write here my short review at a time when already the successor model of camera in circulation. I mean, the PEN E-PM2 This currently costs twice as the E-PM1. Of course, the successor has the more current sensor as the OMD EM-5 Olympus has been improved. But that does not mean that the sensor of the PEN E-PM1 has deteriorated suddenly. For the vast majority of cases to Sophisticated images in DSLR level sufficient to make. I have used the small E-PM1 with your kit lens 14-42mm and with my Pro and Top Pro Four Thirds lenses and have no difference noted in quality compared with my E-5 DSLR. If you have incorporated and can operate the small housing, you have DSLR quality in your pocket and always there. This is sometimes more important than any sophisticated, bulky, heavy and expensive equipment. Who the successor can not afford and a small good camera looking at even the best lenses can be connected to the get to the E-PM1 is a device which will not rot in the closet and will be able to make many good photos.
And one thing I would like to mention: the 14-42mm kit lens should not be underestimated. The Zuikos (the lenses designed the Olympus), one has the particular advantage that one can almost blind to access almost any lens (even if it is convenient kit, not Pro or Top Pro) and one can be sure that you already on a high quality level of technology is. The lenses from Olympus are one of the main reasons to use to also cameras from Olympus!
