The Goodies
My personal favourite feature of this camera is the amount of stylish accessories you can throw on it to further your creativity.
The M.Zuiko range of lenses designed for digital imaging will fit any Micro four thirds camera. The lenses offer high resolution performance as well as giving your camera a stylish look all its own. My favourite is the flat 17mm f2.8 wide-angle lens, which looks amazing when attached.
The elegantly designed FL-14 System Flash looks magnificent on the hot shoe, throw on a VF-1 External Viewfinder and you have yourself one unique looking camera!
Strap on an old-school body jackets and your camera is one stylin’ piece of gear.
