I had an E-PL2 for a while. Terrible experience. I strongly endorse the notion that this is one you really really need to handle for a while before buying. My particular problem was the big "push here to switch into video mode" button which was strangely placed right where my thumb wanted to rest when holding the camera in viewing position (shooting with EVF). So I had many unintended worthless minutes of video and many missed still shots.
