My personal guru Ken Rockwell ordered the E-P1 ;)
Read it here: http://kenrockwell.com/olympus/e-p1.htm
And he made a very short and very provocant Leica D-Lux4 review after playing only 3 minutes with camera!

3 years ago |although i share many thoughts with ken rockwell hes is not always right:
“…and if I want serious results from a small camera, I shoot the Nikon D40 which has a sensor with double the area of the Olympus E-P1″
is simply wrong….

3 years ago |“I shoot the Nikon D40 which has a sensor with double the area of the Olympus E-P1″
E-P1 sensor (active area) = 17*13.5mm = 229.5mm^2
D40 sensor* = 23.7*15.6mm = 369.72mm^2
369.72/229.5 = 1.611
1.611 =/= 2
*Unsure as to if this is the active area or just the sensor size. So the difference might even be slightly less.

3 years ago |Sorry, that should have been 17.3*13= 224.9 . Which still gives you a difference of 1.644.
Also the sensor itself is 18*13.5=243 . Going by that [369.72/243] you get 1.521.

Maybe, he’ll change his mind when he’s used it , LOL
….and he stomped that D-lux4 pretty hard, but that’s the truth

3 years ago |Three minutes fiddling the Leica to not actually having the Olympus camera yet. That’s sad. What was the point of that E-P1 thing other than getting his ads up? I’d rather drive syringes under my toenails than click on anything on that site.
