"It doesn't creep."The Olympus V204045SU000 is a great light weight mirrorless camera. The grip is excellent for medium and large hands. I still can tolerate that by just working on selected photos. Been using the Olympus V204045SU000 for about 2 weeks now with no issues. In spite of all the motion on my end, the pictures were sharp.

"Very good quality."The focus speed in general is so much faster and more reliable. The availability of the control dials makes a huge difference. But for me it is the low light improvements. Only gripes are slow focus and short battery life. I've added some sample photos taken with this camera and a 50mm f1.
