low budget 4/3 cameras

Look4chrisng

Hey, anyone uses those 4/3 cameras.  It is a purchase for wife as a pocket camera.

I saw a Olympus ep-l1 on sales.  And ep-l2 is $100 more.  Should I send extra $100 the ep-l2? Or Panasonic GF series a better choice?

No, lens change.  She prefers zoom lens.  It can shoot video and takes quick snap shot here and there.  Mostly importantly, not too expansive.

need cheap/easy to find cameras.

If I have that much dope, I bought some Phase one and Prophoto power pack.  You can beat the horse to dead, but 35 is as good as 35.  Until then I am going to go cheap.

LX-5 and S95 are nice on paper, but the sensor is so tiny, it has hard any dof.

Fichai:  $300 for E-pl1, new old stock.  Brand new good compact S95 is pretty much the same.
Cow:  True too.  I need more dof only when I am shooting food at close distance. There than that 99% I am at the wide open end.
