Honest John's Used Bike-O-Rama
What is it with pushbikes with "for sale" signs and hyper-inflated prices around Newtown these days. $110 for this jalopy? I don't think so... This is probably one of the better examples too...
I love my E-p1 and will upgrade to an E-p3. There's arguable trade off in image quality compared to a similarly priced dslr but it's much smaller and looks dang cool. It really comes down to personal preference. I'm getting more into high end little point-and-shoots as I can carry one in my hand all day, and it's silent and sneaky :-) Some folks prefer the solid feel of a dslr - it's all such a personal thing.
If you happen to be in Sydney then head up to the JB Hifi in the new Westfield in Pitt Street Mall - they have tons of cameras out on display that you can pick up and play with
Both the Olympus and Panasonic are great, each have their own strengths.
If you are mainly doing regular daytime snapshots then a little point'n'shoot is just as good, in good light it can be hard to pick the difference in image quality. I have a Canon S95 which goes with me everywhere, fits in my shirt or jeans pocket, it's brilliant. Now I mainly use the bigger EP-1 camera for food blogging photos, low light shots and shots where I want to blur the background.

ps - the epl2 is a bargain at the moment at around $500 from hongkers - almost as fast but lacks touch screen.
