3 years ago |As much as I can sign up for the Olympus fan club, I can’t see how the E-P1 is the best camera of 2010. The E-p2 is better and from an user point of view perhaps this title should go the GF1.

3 years ago |I agree with Duarte Bruno on the point that E-P2 is even better. Perhaps the price/value is the main feature that it was judged by, or maybe sales volumes. Why do you say it should go to GF-1 that is what I don’t get though…
And.. as a E-P2 owner and happy user I very much enjoy the fact that I own a camera which is even better than the CAMERA OF THE YEAR! LOL =)

Surely, from now it’s not the best, but it’s the first compact m43, the one that started this new adventure.
In 2009, ep-1 got the EISA award “best camera 2009″

“The E-P1, which successfully combined the concept of the legendary masterpiece “OLYMPUS PEN” and state-of-the-art digital technologies, is the camera which offers the new direction of digital cameras. Based on the review, Camera of the Year went to OLYMPUS PEN E-P1.”
