In any event the US pricing should be a fair bit less than what the exchange rate would indicate.

And to be honest I never use the on board flash on my dSLR anyways. ]]>Jun 16th 2009 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/Jun 16th 2009 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/
A flash on this would be limited by how close it would have to be to the lens mount, the lens would cast shadows with anything but a pancake lens.

It should have a flash that flips up the back so it can stick up past the entire body and work with most lenses. Barring that, at least a low-profile flash that can be clipped to the camera strap when not in use would be okay.]]>Jun 16th 2009 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/Jun 16th 2009 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/ ... something that can bounce like the new Canon 270EX and Sony flashes.

That would be Oly's FL-36R.

Probably later we would see also reviews of the non-bounce-able, made especially for the camera FL-14. But well, it can't bounce.]]>Jun 16th 2009 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/

The pancake has a more general purpose focal length.

Also, FYI, AVI does not have a 2GB limit. AVI is just a container ("audio-video-interleaved"). It can have a variety of codecs, from DV (which takes 12GB/hour) to Xvid to mpeg4 to Divx. The file system may have a file size limit, but for digicam memory cards these days, it's FAT32, which is limited to 4GB (FAT16 is 2GB).

What's ironic is that Olympus is dumping it's own crippled xD memory in favor of SDHC. I guess the xD's speed and capacity limitations were just too much for a camera like this.]]>Jun 16th 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/16/olympus-e-p1-digital-pen-gets-official-so-does-our-lust/Jun 16th 2009 2:45AM
