Olympus E-P1 World's Smallest DSLR

Man, I want this camera.

The only thing that prevents me from buying a DSLR camera is the size, bulk and weight. I'm not a photography expert but I know these features are inherent in such devices but it looks like this camera has good compromise (no viewfinder and on camera flash) thanks to its Micro 4/3 format.

Plus, it looks ***y!

It's not hard to see where Olympus got the inspiration for the 'Pen Digital'' the Pen FT was an innovative half frame SLR that won many fans (despite its flaws) and remains a highly collectible classic 40 years later.

Yeah, that's a beauty. Not technically a DLSR because there is no mirror.

I'll wait for the next micro 4/3 camera from Olympus that's coming in December 2009. It might have a built-in flash and an electronic viewfinder.

I also have my eye on Oly's E620 DLSR.

title is misleading, that's not an SLR; it even says so at the olympus site - "Not a Point and Shoot. Not an SLR. It's a PEN. What will you create?"

very nice camera, though.

Another micro four thirds camera - Panasonic's Lumix GF1:

yup, this got my attention,too, and ,although lacking the mirror to make it a true slr tulad ng sabi ni donb, it's a nice camera

Hmmm. Mag Nikon D40 ka na lang Negus. Mas ok yun. Actually, mas ok ang D90. hehe.
