It's kind of sad, like something's died inside :)]]>Nov 24th 2009 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/

Just to clarify, poor Olympus cannot be blamed for this, it is those third party Swarovski-fetishists that are "upgrading" these cameras -- that poor E-P1 should be pittied. Hopefully someone will put it out of its misery.]]>Nov 24th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/Nov 24th 2009 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/Nov 24th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/Nov 24th 2009 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/Nov 24th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/
"The irony of all of this is that olympus have taken a brilliant idea and have over inflated it, over priced it, and now over jewelled it."

++ to that.

I think Panasonic have got it right with the GF1, keeping it utilitarian instead of fetishising a otherwise great product.

Its a damn shame.]]>Nov 24th 2009 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/24/olympus-pen-e-p1-spoiled-by-swarovski/

Apologies its a 3rd Party MOD ,but you know what it still sucks, as does the bog standard overpriced version of this camera.

That said, Dekoden.com sells a kit of Swarovski crystals that would have made this camera look like this for 126 yen, or about $1.50.

You all are wondering who buys such cameras and why Swarovski spoils otherwise good equipment with shiny shit.

If you spend more time around "normal" girls (not the ones that can program or know that Android is not human), you will be amazed how most of them are addicted to this shiny crap. I think this camera makes a great Christmas present for a lady (and if it was a point-and-shoot covered in crystals, it wouldn't make a difference).

That's why Swarovski is making money, like any other company.

... I can't believe I was serious....
