Hands on with the Micro Four Thirds snapper

PHOTOS: Olympus E-P1 camera

16 June 2009 20:57 GMT / By Chris Hall

The E-P1 is only a day old and we've been fortunate to have our hands all over the retro Micro Four Thirds snapper from Olympus.

With Olympus taking the retro effect to the extreme, they have even made a leather strap and half case for the camera, pictured here.

Coming in a choice of black, white or silver, the new camera will be in stores in July and with the 14-42mm zoom lens pictured here will set you back £699.

For more details head over to our news on the launch, link below, and watch out for our first impressions and test shots coming soon.

  • Seems expensive for what you get, but man I would have love to own one Posted by misund007, United Kingdom
  • Anything by Olympus, Canon, or Sony is immediate trash. And, you can't replicate the quality of a DSLR in a small package without compensating quality. It just does not happen. Posted by Inca, US
  • Inca - a Nikon fan perchance? Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
  • I tried the camera at the launch party for the camera yesterday, and I have to say I was very impressed by the image quality

  • Wow! This is the one I am searching!
    Bulky DSLR camera is too professional for me.. I love to enjoy party rather than carrying the bulky camera taking picture for other. .

    Light, handy, with great quality, and most important helping me to capture the beautiful moment!
