My recently obtained Olympus E-PL1 has two malfunctions.
1. This is typical for old digital cameras (same thing as with my Samsung NX10 and NX2000). The time/date resets after a battery is removed from the E-PL1. This is very annoying because a battery should be removed to charge (with an external charger).
2. Another problem is typical for old Olympus. The in-body image stabilization (IBIS) is broken. It doesn't work. And there is the blinking red IS1 indicator on the screen.
However, the camera is still usable (as if IBIS was turned off ).
In general, I planned to use the E-PL1 with manual focus lenses, so IBIS might be more important for live view focusing (at high magnification) than for image capture.
