Olympus E-P1 image quality

My New York pro friend provided me with an Olympus RAW file (ORF) from the new E-P1 (see yesterday’s entry).

I processed the ORF into 16-bit TIF. Color rendition and overall image quality look to be excellent. It’s exciting to see high quality in a compact camera, though at 335 grams (without lens), it’s no lightweight (a Nikon D40 is 475g).

And at about $799 , it’s more expensive than many of today’s starter DSLRs, so it has to prove itself in terms of image quality, usability, and unique features. Its form factor and Live View screen might just do the trick.

The main thing I’ll note as irritating with the E-P1: there is no built-in flash! I like at least a wimpy flash for fill-light in the 1-6 foot range; I’m not excited about spending another $199 for a flash and having to carry it. Makes no sense to me on a small form factor camera, where I’m using it because it’s small.
