The micro four-thirds format sure is picking up steam. I blogged about the E-P1 last year in June. But as attractive as the size and sensor format of the camera was, I wasn’t tempted. The first iteration of Olympus’ design was problematic: slow AF and no unit flash, and it was pegged at too high an asking price.
So, I was real thrilled to read yesterday that Olympus has just announced a new model using the format: the E-PL1, which is less featured and built more cheaply (e.g. plastic mount LOL), will be several hundred dollars cheaper at the same time! Now, that’s really tempting now – a near-DSLR image quality almost compact-sized camera that’ll cost about SGD840 suggested retail, maybe cheaper at street price.:)
