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.

PEN camera. The original idea was to create a camera that was as easy to use and carry as a pen. The incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use of the new model are a nod to the PENs past. However, D-SLR quality and a host of new features bring it right up to date. Its easy to get creative with Art Filters such as Pop Art, Grainy Film and Pin Hole. Youll also have the ability to vary the depth of field, angle of view, and autofocus during recording. You can use a 7x and 10x magnified view for precise focusing and frame and review your photos on the large 3 inch LCD screen. 12.3 megapixels will provide enough detail for you to blow up your shots to poster size. You can even record high definition video with stereo sound. The PEN also helps to ensure spotless photography with an efficient dust reduction system and a built-in Image Stabilizer. The camera comes with a 14-42mm lens and is also compatible with the FourThirds standard of interchangeable lenses for greater flexibility.

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 ...

Advantages: Great image Quality, terrific design, very easy to use Disadvantages: none
This Olympus FE-5000 with Resolution: 10 Megapixels, Optical Zoom: 5x and LCD: 2.7" with 16 shooting modes is a remarkable piece of equipment. it is sleek and stylish and will fit easily in your pocket.This is one of the cheaper digital cameras from the world famous brand. It has a great lens, which really helps in low light conditions. Its lens can capture light very efficiently. flash is pretty powerful for its size.
Overall i would say if you have the budget to get one of these and you don't want to compromise the quality of your pictures, don't hesitate just go for it.
Here's something that might interest you:
All shutter delay times were about standard. A single photo took 0.32 seconds while five clocked 15.08 seconds. With flash, times were 0.55 seconds for one photo and 16.09 seconds for five.
That's pretty good wouldn ...

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.
