Micro four thirds is not just a sensor, but a whole system. All Panasonic m4/3 lens will work on Olympus m4/3 bodies and all Olympus m4/3 lens will work on Panasonic m4/3 bodies.

Thanks VancouverGuy.

I'm using the Olympus E-PM2. The E-PM1 is around $300. There's also Canon G15 for $499, which is a better choice if you're not going to buy any lens in the future.Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"
cool ! thanks VancouverGuy :) it looks like the Canon G15 is a good option. One more question.. is the Canon G15 good for taking pictures at night, fireworks and wide angle shots ? I like taking pictures but I'm a novice in photography. I have a Canon Power Shot SD780 IS, it's good for taking photos at daytime but not much for night time.

The Nikon D3100 DSLR is on sale here at Futureshop in Canada. Not sure where you're from. DSLR is big and heavy though. It's better for low light than tiny cameras.
Blurry photos at low light is cause of slow shutterspeed. The shutter needs to stay opened longer to capture more light. In order to achieve a more fast shutterspeed under low light, you'll need a camera or lens that have a low f number(such as f1.8 or f2.0).
Noisy photos taken in low light is cause of high ISO. Higher ISO gets you faster shutterspeed, but higher means it'll have more noise. Cameras with bigger sensors(such as DSLRs) will have less noise at high ISO. DSLR with a fast lens such as 50mm f1.8 will be very good for low light.
A camera like Canon S110 can still get some fairly sharp photos under low light. At really low light it'll still be somewhat blurry. Also don't zoom in under dim lighting environment. The lens is slower when it's zoomed.

Both are nice cities Japanican.
I was born and lived all my life(except for a brief period living abroad with my husband) in Calgary, Alberta.
My parents are from Taiwan and came to Canada before I was born.

For low light it'll be better than the SD780 by a little. Maybe look at the Canon S110 too, it's smaller.Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"
