BTW, love the camera. But can't wait to hear all the complaints about the slow shutter lag. It's not an SLR so no phase detect autofocus so it's kinda slow for action shots unless you decouple autofocus from the shutter release.

And now you know...]]>Jul 14th 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/Jul 14th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/
And if canon ever makes a similar camera you will have to buy new lenses for it or it will get big. E-P1 can take standard fourthirds lenses but then it losses its portability factor, same as if canon made tiny camera and added huuuge lenses to it.

And as for contrast detection being slow, that fact is greatly exaggerated. The EP1 and 14-42mm lens is the slowest combination, and it's still usable. The GH1 with most of the Panasonic lenses can rival dSLRs in many cases.]]>Jul 14th 2009 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/
And Canon L lenses are no match for Oly lenses, especially at the wide end. Many pros use Canon due to sponsorship deals rather than preference.]]>Jul 15th 2009 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/14/olympus-e-p1-available-to-those-willing-to-pay-a-little-premium/
Micro 4/3 has the advantage of being compact and yet giving you the SLR features. If you are talking about using only ONE system, then Olympus Pen E-P1 is most likely not the best to go with. But it is a excellent alternative / backup to whatever system you have right now. I uses 135mm Nikon and Hasseblad but this little wonder gives be the flexibility of occasions where I do not wish to lug half a ton of equipment around ... i.e. street photography.

As for lenses, there are adaptors available in the market place to fit major brand of lenses onto this camera. I currently uses my old Nikkor lenses on it and it works just fine. In fact, it is a trend in Japan now to fit Leica lenses on this camera and it produces wonderful results.

If you really are into low noise and high sharpness, then you should be looking into medium or large format ... not s DSLR.

To me, this little thing has its place in camera bag and so far after using it ... it truly has earned that place.
