Its not a compact..its not an SLR..


This camera is awesome. For those who wish to take pictures like SLR, olympus has come up with something in between a compact and SLR. The new olympus E-P1.

It's slighty bigger than a compact,
Has SLR capabilities,
Comes with two inter-changeables lens,
High ISO ( can take pic in low light without flash)
Retro feel

However, a major drawback is it does not come with a built in flash. Must buy separate. That's why it comes with high ISO settings. The high ISO is better than the Canon powershot G10 and the Panasonic Lumix L3. Another drawback is the kit lens...no long range zoom, but sufficient for normal use for potraits, parties and group pics.

The mega drawback is the price, RM3000!
