The New Olympus Pen E-P1 (http://pen.olympus.com.au/?&gclid=CKulq8vJrJwCFdMtpAodFCZHjg)

The missus saw it in it's leather holder and just wanted one. She didn't ask what it's features were, how big it was or anything. She just liked the look of it.

Looks to be in a similar vein to the Leica M8 but without the $7,000 price tag:D

mmmmm it doesn't do it for me at all.

I have noticed a lot of the style is now going back to look like the old film camera's lets hope its shutter is faster than its site loading :lol2:

RRP $1,399

From their website:


enables you to record HD video with ease and allows for shooting at up to ISO 6400


Do you want HD video? Do you want ISO 6400? Actually, I wonder what shooting at 6400 will look like... like all the others perhaps - not good.

SWMBO and I have always used Nikon for over 30 years.

But I bought a Canon G10 to keep in the car and I reckon it is an excellent unit :wasntme:

(coming from a Nikon man that's saying something)

Now if Nikon would only make a digital in an S2 body...

Looks like the old 35mm Olympus Trip but with a much heftier price tag.
