You can now pre-order the Olympus E-P1 at $750 without a 3x zoom kit or $799 with a 3x zoom kit, the camera has finally available for pre-order from numerous retailers. Sporting the size of a small compact camera, Olympus sports a sleek and
compact body as it uses the 4/3 sized image sensor. The internal
structure eliminates the traditional digital-SLR quick-return mirror
allowing a radical reduction in camera size without compromising the
benefits of digital SLR photography with its high shooting performance
and high quality images.
The new Olympus PEN E-P1 is equipped with the Intelligent Auto (iAUTO) function that automatically evaluates the scene and sets the optimum scene shooting mode to take the selected shot. The imaging system uses a 4/3-inch type, 12.3-megapixel high speed Live MOS Sensor and a newly developed TruePic V image processing engine to provide high quality still images. This impressive processing engine also enables non-flash shooting up to ISO 6400.
