This is my first DSLR, so I can compare it only to compact cameras I used. Picture quality is really excellent; it's very fast (it's also important to but a fast memory card, otherwise it might be a bottleneck). The only bit I can complain about is the software coming with the camera: olympus master 2 - it stops working from time (consuming 100% CPU) to time and I have to restart it. Another issue worth to mention is that this camera has a problem getting focus when the scene you want to shoot is not very well lit. It also comes with 2 sets of high quality kit lens. You also need to remember buying it, that unlike many other DSLRs, which shoot photos in 3:2 format, this one shoots them in 4:3 format, but it shouldn't be a problem nowadays when you want to print it at a studio.
