I own an Olympus E450. I have only the standard lens that comes with it the 14-44 mm

I like taking portraits and was looking at buying a new lens.

I am going traveling for 6 months and wanted a small camera that takes good pictures and allows me to control the apperture. While looking for lenses for my E450 I came across the Olympus PL2 camera and have seen some great deals

I just wanted to ask some advice. Would it be a good camera to trade my more bulky E450 in for without down grading the quality of my photos too much?

I have E-PL2, and I like it for lighter travel. The IQ is quite good. I have never used Olympus Four Third cameras, but the sensor size looks to be around the same, so the IQ can't be much better. Some differences are:
1) no view finder unless you buy extra
2) a little slower AF with the contrast detection ( more like compact cameras )

I don't think you will be disappointed about the IQ, etc. However, E450 is already relatively small and light for DSLR, so I guess it depends on how much you will pay for the switch.
