With eye-catchingly retro styling that harkens back to the company's tiny Olympus Pen camera series that launched fifty years previously, the Olympus P1 offers a lot of camera in a very small package. Readers unfamiliar with the Micro Four Thirds format may want to take a look at our earlier coverage of its announcement. Behind the E-P1's Micro Four Thirds lens mount resides a 12.3 megapixel Live MOS image sensor that's identical to that found in the existing E-30 and E-620 single-lens reflex digital cameras, coupled to a new TruePic V image processor. By placing the imager on a moveable platter, Olympus has given its tiny P1 the ability to offer in-body sensor shift image stabilization. The Olympus EP1's stainless steel body has dimensions of 4.8 x 2.8 x 1.4", and weighs just 11.8 ounces excluding lens, battery and flash card. Two versions will be offered - either silver or white, with matching lenses available.
