The only down-side to it is the relatively smaller sensor size due to the four thirds lens mount. This mount also restricts the availability of lenses, but as I’m not a professional photographer it suits me just fine.
I have a Nikon D70s and while I'm happy with it for most things, I've noticed that in comparison with newer cameras the images are very grainy in low light to the extent that my Canon G-11 compact outperforms it for indoors shots. And thats despite me using fast (1.8) lenses with the DSLR too.

Still, it performs well enough that I couldn't justify upgrading the body quite yet.
