I have been away to Nova Scotia with the opportunity to get used to the Pen 2 and the 17mm Zuiko lens.
My observations on the camera is a great learning curve from all other types of cameras that I have owned over the last 60+ years!!
First of all I feel that in bringing a new model of camera to the market place Oly have included far too many options for the average person to absorb. The menu is too big and too cluttered. Far too many options available that the average person would require or even want. I realize that it was designed for amateurs of which I do not consider myself or most of the people on this site to be. I think most of us are advanced enough to recognize the merits of the camera and the options that we are really not interested in.
I put the 17mm lens on the camera used it for the entire trip and I think that it is an amazing lens. I would like to see Oly make f2.8mm Primes, including aw/a of less than the 17mm plus a micro/macro 25mm...perhaps a 50mm and something in the 150mm range, again, all primes and preferable all pancake type. This would improve quality comp and that is what it is all about.
I look forward to replies on this subject which I am sure will be controversial.
Cheers
