Don,
Thanks for the input.
His use would be pretty much as a PHD and was thinking the results would be
better than a normal pocket sized one.
The package with spare battery and backpack caught his eye, and the price of
course.

I found this over at dpreview and thought it might help. You might also want
to look at the reviews of the new E-5 if you already have Olumpus lenses.
It's High prices but said to finally get the best out of Zuiko SHG Glass.
E-PL1 vs E-P2: Key differences
Although the EPL-1 is a less expensive camera than the E-P2 that sits above
it, it doesn't give much ground to its big brother in terms of
specification. The biggest differences are the more compact-camera-like
interface (and loss of control dials), the simplified construction, less
sophisticated image stabilization system and the addition of the built-in
flash.
* No control dials vs. 2 on the E-P2
* Built-in flash (external flashes only on E-P2)
* Mainly plastic body with aluminium skined front (Stainless steel and
alloys for E-P2)
* Image stabilization with claimed 3 stop benefit, vs. 4 stops for
E-P2
* Direct record movie button vs. movies as position on E-P2 mode dial
* Mono mic with option to add stereo using adapter vs. built-in stereo
mics
* Maximum shutter speed 1/2000th sec, vs. 1/4000th.
