Very compact lens designs
Compatibility with a wide range of existing lens designs using adapters
Albeit with limitations
Good heft

The editors didn't like
Some highlight clipping (and poor dynamic range at ISO 100)
Low resolution screen that's hard to see in bright light
I-Enhance picture mode can't be disengaged when using iAuto
No built-in flash (and the optional flash is expensive and pretty basic)
Complicated menu system not that easy to navigate
Preview image brightness doesn't always match the captured image brightness
No quick way to s
Relatively limited Micro Four Thirds lens selection from Olympus (as of April
2010)
Short battery life (especially compared to an SLR)
No built-in flash

Slow autofocus. No built-in flash. Electronic viewfinder is no match for an optical viewfinder. Camera picks up lens motor noise when shooting video.
No custom mode setting
No (built-in) viewfinder
EVF needs hot shoe
Price
Screen in brighter conditions.
