Four Thirds E-P1! These cameras will be available to order from late July 2009- pre order now to receive one of the first available cameras in the UK! You can pre order by clicking the \Add to Basket\ button. No money will be taken from your account until we have received deliveries and you have confirmed your order. In 1959- Olympus changed the face of photography by pursuing one simple idea: create a camera as easy to use and carry as a pen. Designed by renowned style guru Yoshihisa Maitani- the Olympus Pen triggered a camera boom that would last through the end of the 1970s. Today the legend comes alive again in digital form with the release of the E-P1. This first groundbreaking Olympus Micro Four Thirds model comes at a time when mirrors are no longer a necessary component for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. Incredibly small size- retro style- and ease of use are a nod to the Pens past. However- D-SLR quality and a host of new features place the E-P1 at the leading edge as Olympus innovative technologies reimagine the future. Now everyone can have the best of both worlds: high-end design and D-SLR performance.

Advantages: Takes AAA batteries and....er.....er...hmmmm.... takes AAA batteries Disadvantages: Awful screen, not user friendly, feels cheap and nasty, made out of inferior materials etc. etc.
desirable in the flesh. The camera feels quite cheap and nasty and is clearly made out of inferior materials. This is not that surprising given the features and the low cost. Olympus had to cut corners somewhere and it appears as though it is all in the camera outer casing. The buttons follow the overall theme and also look cheap and nasty. When you press the buttons there is no convincing ?click? like you get with other cameras, which also suggests poor quality. The buttons are quite small and not suitable for anyone with large or fat fingers.
Like most digital cameras nowadays there are a variety of shooting modes including SCN, DIS mode, P and iAuto. There is also the ability to change the settings depending upon the weather where you can choose between sunny, cloudy and fluorescent conditions. In addition to this you can choose between ...

1 A Tough Market
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olympus has a long history of brilliant cameras and lenses.
It finds itself in a tough world as far as digital SLR cameras are concerned.
The other big names - Nikon and Canon, have a huge section of the market already. Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Pentax are eager rivals, but Olympus is determined not to get left behind.
Their E series, and especially their latest models, are crossing new frontiers and making ground against the other firms.

Let's take a minute to note what the E-400 has in common with the other SLRs that you might contemplate.!
The benefit of a Single Lens Reflex camera has always been that what you see through the viewfinder, is what you are going to get in your photograph.
A mirror reflects what is coming through the lens ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Olympus E-P1 marks an innovative era in digital imaging. The Micro Four Thirds camera upholds the legacy of the celebrated PEN family of cameras, with the photographic optics of an SLR and the size and simplicity of a point and shoot. Combining the still image quality of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) with the A/V quality of both a high definition camcorder and high-end audio recorder, the E-P1 is a virtual full-service imaging studio in one ultra-portable and stylishly retro body. With dozens of advanced features, the E-P1 makes documenting and sharing your everyday life easier and more creative than ever before. The E-P1 is the world's smallest 12.3-mexapixel interchangeable lens system camera, yet has the creative flexibility to give you a true professional experience with ease. A still photo, video and audio recorder in one, the E-P1 creates exceptional photos, inventive slide shows, and remarkable videos both for personal use or for posting on many of today's social networking websites. It delivers professional quality images without the bulk of a conventional DSLR, thanks to its slim body and advanced high-speed imager AF (Live View) technologies. The lens mount diameter has been reduced, enabling the use of smaller, lighter interchangeable lenses that perform at the same level as larger DSLR lenses. The camera fits easily in many pockets and purses. With 12.3 megapixels at its disposal, the E-P1 delivers image quality that makes the difference between ordinary and exceptional still and video imaging. A Live MOS image sensor is complemented by a next generation TruePic V image processor, resulting in excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity, fine image details in all highlight and shadow areas, and reduced noise.
