Wednesday, 02/03/10 - The new Olympus PEN® E-PL1 is truly greater than the sum of its parts, with a surprisingly small camera body packed with technology normally found in bigger, bulkier and heavier professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and High-Definition (HD) camcorders. This third-generation PEN is built for shutterbugs who always wanted better pictures and considered a DSLR, but were intimidated by the bulky size and complex interface. The new camera's simple design and easy interface enable consumers to easily create amazing images never dreamt possible. The new E-PL1 features in-camera stabilization, integrated pop-up flash, in-camera panorama, multiple exposure function, HD video, face detection, auto tracking, and more.
