Dpreview has a comprehensive review of the recently released Olympus E-PL1 Micro Four Thirds camera. As a reminder, the E-PL1 boasts an accessory port for add-ons such as the electronic viewfinder. This 12-megapixel camera also features a simplified �Live Guide� interface, a 2.7-inch LCD screen (230,000 dots), a built-in flash, a 720p HD video recording (MJPEG compression), ISO 100-3200, and 6 �Art Filter� creative effects. Here is the verdict:
The E-PL1 is the first mirrorless camera to marry its size and image quality advantages to the accessibility of a compact camera. Olympus has simply slipped an easy-to-use interface on top of its PEN DSLR-in-a-smaller-box concept. That power is there if you want it, even if the pared back design means the operation isn�t as quick as it can be with the other PENs. Point-and-shoot users won�t get the very most out of the camera but, thanks to an excellent JPEG engine, it�s likely they�ll spend much of their time too delighted by their pictures to worry about it.
You can purchase the Olympus PEN E-PL1 for $599.99. See more pictures after the jump.
