I wanted to get a nice camera that shoots quality pictures, but i am way to inexperienced/poor for a DSLR so I was looking towards the micro 4/3's. I really like the Olympus Pen EPL-1. Any opinions on this camera or other micro fourt thirds?

Good for portability, still not same quality of the other reflex cameras. AF is slower, iso performance are getting better, but still inferior.
Anyway they are improving fast and they are an intelligent solution.
That's all I know.

you can get a dslr for the same price and being inexperienced doesent make any difference on choosing micro four thirds over a dslr. those micro four thirds are basically dslrs, but missing a mirror..

this
so get a DSLR
