 Great little camera May 12, 2010

This camera is great. The whole design is the result of a set of compromises that I can totally live with and even like.
1. The picture quality is great! Not above $1000 Canon or NIkon DSLR great, but I can live with it. It matches a lot of entry level DSLRs though, and is as good (or better) than what you get from other Olympus DSLRs.
2. Given the two control wheels and total customization of the body controls, there is no compromise in the control scheme. Yes, it will take you a month or two to fully get used to it and customize it to your liking. But once there, it becomes an extension of the photographer. No monkeying with buttons and no diving in menus. It becomes a lean, mean photographing machine!
3. The small camera size makes it totally feasible to have it always with you. If not in a coat pocket with a pancake lens, you can always have it in your hand bag (purse) or just let it live in your backpack. I have a very thin backpack designed to carry a laptop and a book or two at most, and I can easily have the E-P1 there with the kit lens.
4. The kit lens is great. A bit of compromise here compared to maybe the best lenses available, but the collapsible design plays heavily to the portability factor.
5. The Olympus color rendition is just fabulous!
Because I have it always with me, I now take about 600 photos a months. This alone has made me a better hobbyist photographer compared to before I got this gem!
 Good optics easy to use but, pricy April 11, 2010

The optics and picture are of high quality however it somewhat problematic to cary and change lenses. I would have been better satisfied if it had come with an indirect flash.
I find myself most of the time taking an Olympus tuff 8000. The pictures are of very high quality and I can carry it in my pocket.
Olympus Pen E-P1 Is a pretty good camera! April 11, 2010

I recently purchased the Olympus Pen E-P1 and it's a decent camera. It's a combination of a digital SLR and a point and shoot camera. The quality of the images are pretty good. This camera might take time getting use to if you are a frequent user of a DSLR. If you want a really good camera, this is it. REMEMBER THIS ISN'T A DSLR, It only has DSLR features!
Fantastic Camera March 11, 2010

Was tired of my big canon 40d and big lenses. Great pictures but too large hour after hour. This camera took an indoor shot with no flash at over 1000 iso and looked excillent!
Very portable and the depth of field looks more 3d than just a flat sharp picture. I have owned an e-300 and e-510 and new olympus had a major idea with the high end Zuiko lenses.
Have 2 panasonic lenses and they are excillent also and made in japan.
World class camera minus a built in flash.
Tons of horsepower in a small package February 12, 2010

Overall we are very pleased with the E-P1. The micro four thirds form factor is great in that we are not lugging a full sized DLSR around.
We have only had this camera for a couple of week and are learning the ropes.
Will provide more information in this review as we get more time with it.
The camera is extremely solid and I am sure that it is going to be with us for a long time.
