Olympus Pen E-P1 Preview

This camera is a beauty:
It's the first Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus. In short, it is a compact digital SLR. Can you imagine?! A compact-like dSLR!!! :) It will be so convenient for me to bring it around!

And I really like its retro design! It's actually following the design of its old Olympus Pen series' (yea, the Olympus Pen series, which is a half-frame film camera, was very popular back in the 50's-mid 80's), hence its name "Pen E-P1".

Hope it will be lauched soon... but don't think it's gonna be cheap, hahaha....

After the blog entry, YT told me that she actually got to test test the cam! But is kinda plasticky.... hmm, must reconsider le, shall go to Cathay Photo one day...
