Olympus PEN E-P1

Cool!

now that's a size I can live with
have you seen the 17mm lens?

that's equivalent to a 34mm on FF/35mm

compact FTW

also check out Canon G11/S90

It's not a compact per se - its a 4/3 dSLR thats missing one of the best features a dslr boasts and that's the through the lens viewfinder.

As far as I'm concerned you might as well get a compact that will easily fit in your pocket (which, btw, isnt the G11).

Oh dear! That's a definite no-no!

I can't get it to read any lower than 4 seconds at f/2.8 at ISO 100 (LV 1).

Metering range is inferior to almost every other camera made in the past thirty years; the E-P1 is one of the few modern cameras that can't meter outdoor night-time exposures.

Canon S90, still at the top of my list.

I dunna, I still think it's super cool!

It looks old school.. Do you think muggers will think twice before robbing you for this camera?

I dunna, I still think it's super cool!

For nature and landscape, it looks brilliant.

That's lots of IQ for such a small camera. It most certainly has its uses. I wish I was so rich that I could just get all these cameras, and find out for myself.
