Our Verdict
This camera is a delight to handle - ergonomic design, clear manual control dials and an aperture ring on the front of the lens allow for instinctive, creative control. The bright LCD screen is sharp and allows you to select your focus points – even when using the EVF (2,760k-dot).
With a beautifully sharp Leica lens (f1.7 at 24mm - f/2.8 at 75mm) and a large sensor 4/3 inch that now captures even higher resolution (due to removing the low-pass filter), you can be sure that images will be of the highest quality.
All from a camera that is small and discreet enough to comfortably take on holiday or be used for street or documentary style photography.
