Olympus E-P1 12.3MP Micro 4/3 camera
I just ordered an Olympus E-P1, a new compact interchangeable-lens micro 4/3 camera (specs), which seems to be all the rage. Olympus makes some outstanding lenses, and reports from a New York pro that I trust indicate that image quality even with the 14-42mm zoom is superb.
At about $800, it’s hardly a cheap camera, so it had better offer near-DSLR quality in a compact package.
It’s available at B&H Photo and amazon.com @AMAZON, though it’s likely to go in and out of stock as initial demand is high. As usual, your use of my links is greatly appreciated.

Will the E-P1 be the answer to DSLR quality in a compact package? We shall see here in this blog, and so shall DAP readers in detail when I post a review within a few weeks. At about $800, it had better be darn good.
For that matter, how would the E-P1 fare as an infrared camera? Hmmm......
