E-P1

Not a compact. Not an SLR. It's a PEN. In 1959, Olympus changed the face of photography by pursuing one simple idea: create a camera as easy to use and carry as a pen. Designed by renowned style guru Yoshihisa Maitani, the Olympus Pen triggered a camera boom that would last through the end of the 1970s. Today the legend comes alive again in digital form with the release of the E-P1. This first groundbreaking Olympus Micro Four Thirds model comes at a time when mirrors are no longer a necessary component for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. Incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use are a nod to the Pen’s past. However, D-SLR quality and a host of new features place the E-P1 at the leading edge as Olympus innovative technologies reimagine the future. Now everyone can have the best of both worlds: high-end design and D-SLR performance.

When Yoshihisa Maitani originally designed the first of many Pen cameras, he could not have suspected that he was starting a revolution. Selling over 17 million units, the Pen became one of the most trusted, popular, and successful camera series ever. The removal of the mirror box in the 21st century has brought the legendary series back. Mirror-less construction is the foundation for both the Olympus Pen E-P1’s stunning new design and its remarkably compact size. Everyone will fall in love with the camera’s irresistible retro-look. It is reminiscent of the classic Olympus Pens, which were cherished for their compactness, usability, and affordable price.

Five decades later, the E-P1 promises to honour the memory of its famous forefathers. It hails the beginning of the next generation of the digital era. In addition to all the advantages of Olympus imaging technology, the new ultra-compact hybrid device can even record HD quality movies with sound and stunning creative effects familiar from still photography. In addition to the application of Art Filters, it includes the ability to vary depth of field, angle of view, and autofocus during recording.

Awards

EISA Award for Olympus PEN

Only shortly after its worldwide launch Olympus' first Micro Four Thirds camera, the E-P1, is able to convice the EISA jury as being the best 'European Camera 2009-2010'. Confirming the groundbreaking benefits of the E-P1's key features, they noted:"The Olympus PEN is an elegant camera with an appealing retro design. The camera utilises the new mirror- and prism-less Micro Four Thirds system, which allows the E-P1 to be very compact and lightweight. Besides the compact Micro Four Thirds lenses, users can fit existing Four Thirds, OM and Leica M mount lenses to the body via an adaptor". And in recognition that the image quality of the E-P1 matches D-SLR results, the esteemed EISA jury summed up by saying: "As the sensor is larger than that found in compact cameras better image quality and lower noise levels can be achieved". With a range of features to choose from, the Olympus E-P1 is also a dream for anyone with creative ambition.

Olympus PEN receives 'Highly Recommended'

dpreview.com was impressed with the overwhelming key features of the E-P1. They stated: 'You have to take your hat off to Olympus for getting so much right with its first Micro Four Thirds camera.'[...] For years now we - along with many of our users - have been pleading with SLR manufacturers to produce a camera like this [...] The combination of a compact body, large sensor and interchangeable lenses is an appealing one for the serious photographer.' Thanks to the new mirror- and prism-less Micro Four Thirds system, the Olympus PEN faces perfectly these needs providing the image quality of a D-SLR. dpreview.com sums up: The PEN is a camera that 'pretty much completely lives up to the hype surrounding it'. It's a camera that ticks an awful lot of boxes and fills an awfully big hole in the digital camera market. And it's also a camera that is, literally, in a class of its own - at least for now.'.
