Pros:

Small size, Feel in the hand, Reliability, Small lenses, Durability, Olympus art filters are always so fun.
Excellent image stabilization, Fast shooting speeds, Compact weather-proof body, Flip-out screen, Accurate colors.

Cons:

It's using ancient parts: sensor, EVF, LCD screen, I feel like Olympus is playing catch up in a lot of ways while they're ahead in some ways
Mediocre low-light capability, Autofocus can't keep up to shooting speeds, Sub-par video features, Dated sensor
