Olympus Pen E-P1 camera review
My first outing with the camera was to view a photographic competition at a local gardeners club, and judging by the reaction of the snappers present, the sudden mutterings of “it is, it’s that new E-P1” swiftly spilling round the room when those present saw the camera round my neck surprised me. What surprised me more was the sudden vulture like swooping as said snappers ran over, almost en-mass, to have a closer look: interest is refreshingly high.
So what is the E-P1? For a kick off it is Olympus’ first Micro Four Thirds camera (Panasonic’s been busy on that front with its G-series models for a while) and is therefore a compact, interchangeable lens system camera of some quality. The camera’s retro styling reflects its ’60 forbears but not much more as the new camera is rather bigger than you might expect.
