Got my $99 Panasonic 25mm f/1.7. First impressions are it looks really good. Quite sharp across the frame at f/1.7 and very sharp across the frame at f/4. Have to be careful shooting near infinity, though...if you don't focus far enough, the corners and edges stay sharp, but the center is soft, which is odd....focus in the center and everything is sharp. In any case, things look pretty good. Bokeh looks pretty nice actually...better than most budget oriented lenses. I think I'll be quite pleased with it, but obviously I need to shoot a lot more with it. I've seen samples showing it flares like mad, so I'll definitely test that out.
Good to hear you got yours and it's performing well. Were you in the same boat as I was? I was waiting on a B&H order forever (out of stock at $99), then all of a sudden I get the email it's showing up just before Christmas I had basically given up on getting the lens for $99 but sure enough, they came through!
Finally my little EM5 has a lens again Glad I didn't sell the little bugger.
The OM-D's are as good as any APS-C or Fuji camera. If you are expecting more than that you will be disappointed. If you don't blow up your image much more than 20" X 16" you should be just fine.

Guess who received an EM10 for xmas.
First time with a camera like this, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.
Bobby, so far I have printed 30" long and it is tack sharp.
