Olympus PEN E-PL1
News of a rumored camera from Olympus has finally been made official. Apparently Olympus has kept the E-P1 moderate, in terms of price. As of now, we know that it is about $200 cheaper than the E-P1 and what’s more, it even features the same 12.3-megapixel sensor and 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 zoom lens. Olympus Pen E-PL1 is not just a point-and-shoot camera but it can also act as a beginner DSLR camera. And yes, a DSLR camera is cheaper than this one but it certainly isn’t as small as this one is. This camera is the third release from Olympus in their range of Micro Four-Thirds models. Aside from that, it offers a body-based image stabilization (works with any Micro Four-Thirds System lens), RAW+JPEG shooting, 720p high-definition video (records about 30 frames per second), manual shooting controls, auto mode, a hot shoe, in-camera editing features, and motion-tracking autofocus. We managed to get hold of the specs of this gadget for your viewing pleasure below. The Olympus PEN E-PL1 is what we call ‘A Sweet Deal’! This Olympus camera will be released in black, gold, and blue at the price $600. Wait for the Olympus PEN E-PL1 this March.
