Olympus Pen E-PL1

Local distributor Axis Global yesterday launched a slew of new Olympus digital cameras, including the much-anticipated Olympus Pen E-PL1 Micro Four Thirds system. The Olympus E-PL1 is positioned as an entry-level model in the micro four-thirds category. It is the 3rd model in the Olympus Pen series, having the compact size and light weight of a point and shoot camera but the lens flexibility and image quality of dSLR. The E-PL1 also has a Live Guide user interface, HDMI output and of course, the built-in image stabilization (IS) that Olympus is known for. The Olympus Pen E-PL1 has a suggested retail price of Php39,999. First saw the Olympus PEN E-P3 back in September during our trip to Hong Kong. That perception was changed when I used the Olympus PEN E-P3. As for image quality, I'd leave it to the sample photos I took using the Olympus PEN to speak for themselves as I am already pretty impressed with the output.
