Re: E-P2 IMHO it's impossible to ignore the timelapse between the two--the G3 is significantly more up-to-date in the fastest advancing camera category. About all the E-P2 has in its favor are the IBIS ... |

Re: Battery question Hi Jack, There's a broad spectrum of aftermarket batteries, some perfectly fine and others, not so fine. I stick with 3rd party batteries sold by major retailers who have tried them out, the... |
